Crossover Youth Practice Model Toolkit

Sandra Booker — 2025-07-14T15:42:09Z

Since the beginning, numerous professionals and public citizens have worked at various levels. The State Policy Team brings together agency leaders and advocates to support program implementation, influence policy where appropriate, and eliminate obstacles. The model has been piloted in three jurisdictions across the state, including both urban and rural counties, with local, multi-disciplinary implementation teams, and supported by the statewide CYPM coordinators at KDOC, DCF, and OJA. This toolkit is a compilation of lessons learned through these pilots. Our collective hope is for more jurisdictions to develop collaborative approaches to working with youth and families who are involved in multiple systems and to create partnerships across these systems to help youth and families be healthy and thrive.

About the Crossover Youth Practice Model from Georgetown University’s Center for Youth Justice

Recognizing the need for early identification and intervention of youth and families crossing over between the juvenile justice and child welfare systems, the Kansas Department of Corrections – Juvenile Services (KDOC-JS) entered into a contract with Georgetown University’s Center for Youth Justice (CYJ), previously known as the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) to implement the Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM). KDOC-JS has partnered with the Department for Children and Families (DCF) and the Office of Judicial Administration (OJA) on CYPM implementation in two Kansas pilot sites, with goals of expanding the work to other areas of the state.

“In 2010, CJJR developed the Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM) to address the unique needs of youth that are at risk of or are fluctuating between the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. These youth are commonly referred to as “crossover youth.”

The Crossover Youth Practice Model is a nexus between research and best practices that outlines systemic changes youth serving systems can make to improve their ability to serve youth.

The CYPM has four overarching goals:

Reduction in the number of youth crossing over and becoming dually-involved;
Reduction in the number of youth placed in out-of-home care;
Reduction in the use of congregate care; and
Reduction in the disproportionate representation of youth of color, particularly in the crossover population”

CYPM TOOLKIT

The Toolkit provides an introduction to the Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM). It includes how CYPM was originated, processes for local infrastructure to support cross-system work, how to identify and meet training needs, developing a cross-system case management process, and an over view of how court structure and judicial systems can be involved. The Toolkit is meant to assist counties in Kansas with creating their own version of the CYPM. Information contained in the toolkit is based on facilitated work completed by the Crossover Youth State Policy Team and the counties that have implemented CYPM (i.e., Sedgwick, Shawnee, and Montgomery counties), but is intended to be general enough that any community in Kansas can interpret and enact the stated principles in a manner that best suits the jurisdiction.
