Support of Schooling & Early Employment in Justice-System Involved Emerging Adults

The goal of this study was to complete the early steps of the scientific process of establishing a vocational support model for transition age youth and young adults (TAYYA) with juvenile or criminal justice system histories. The study  conducted the feasibility work for developing a “Life Coaches” vocational support component to address the vocational needs of TAYYA with serious mental health conditions and a recent arrest or release from incarceration. Consumer input on how to modify the already existing “Life Coach” adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST; Henggeler, 1996) guided this research. The study specified the adaptations in a manual, develop a fidelity measure, examine the ability of the intervention to recruit and retain clients, and conducted a pilot randomized control trial.
