Who are the Girls and Gender-Expansive Young People: Understanding the Data

This webinar, hosted by the Justice and Joy National Collaborative, will explore the unique needs of girls and gender-expansive young people in the youth justice system. It will outline research on issues affecting this population, including sex trafficking and exploitation, family violence, substance use disorders, mental health, child welfare system involvement, and reproductive health. The presentation will approach these issues using a public health framework and discuss how systems can collaborate to meet the needs of girls and gender-expansive young people in their communities.
