Massachusetts’ Juvenile Justice System Response to Problem Sexual Behavior by Youth
Massachusetts’ Juvenile Justice System Response to Problem Sexual Behavior by Youth
Presenters: Alix Rivière, PhD; Daniele Rose, MBA; and Melissa Threadgill, MPP
This Lunch and Learn series is a monthly, 1-hour, high-octane focus on the emerging issues for clinicians and allied professionals working with children and youth engaging in problematic sexual behaviors. This is a collaborative effort between MASOC and MACA.
In some instances, children who engage in PSB become involved with the juvenile justice system. The Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) and the Massachusetts Youth Diversion Program (MYDP), operated by the Department of Youth Services, are collaborating to promote trauma-responsive and individualized responses to adolescents alleged of committing sex offenses. Join us on January 20th to learn more about our state’s current system and how the OCA and MYDP are working to increase diversion opportunities for youth who engage in PSB.
January 20, 2026 from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST. Register here.
