Youth within juvenile justice facilities (JJFs) are often some of the most vulnerable and marginalized population in our communities. These youth often have experienced trauma, social-emotional learning (SEL) issues as well as difficulties in school. Many of these youth have had little opportunity to express their voice in positive and healthy ways. Youth voice, however, may be a key to help with not only treatment and programming within JJFs but also with successful habilitation and rehabilitation of youth. This article presents how combining youth voice and SEL may help youth within JJFs, and then explore how the whole youth model lens could create an environment to effectively utilize youth voice, in combination with SEL, to improve youth treatment and programming engagement within JJFs.
