Handle with Care Webinar

This virtual course discusses the Handle with Care, an innovative program taking place in several states across the country. Handle with Care creates a network of communication between local law enforcement and schools that alerts school personnel that a child has been exposed to or witnessed a violent crime. This program highlights the benefits of community organizations working together to support children and increase awareness of the effects of crime on youth and community.  If you would like to learn more about this program and how it may be beneficial in your community, press the link above to register!

If you are a state’s attorney or assistant district attorney working in juvenile court, you will automatically be joined to NDAA’s national listserv of prosecutors working in juvenile court.  You will receive training updates, federal juvenile law updates, and juvenile court trends and best practices posts about twice a month.  We can only add you to the listserv if you included your official state or county email address and designated yourself as a prosecutor at registration.  You can opt out of the group at any time.
