Sometimes, all of these changing factors lead to young people making poor decisions and ending up in the juvenile justice system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lexi Prahl Martin, a Transition Age Youth coordinator for Hennepin County, is working to change the juvenile justice system. The county is pioneering an approach that includes making expungement easier, creating a transition-age probation unit and closing the County Home School, a long-term confinement center.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t need young people to be detained. Because of that we are closing that facility. It\u2019s life changing for the young person and for the community members that are around them,\u201d Prahl Martin said about incarcerating young people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prahl Martin and other Transition Age Youth coordinators focus on the well-being of youth in the county. They work to keep young people in their homes, and if the conditions do not meet the young person\u2019s needs, they try to network in the family to find a suitable home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to keep young people closer to home and in situations that are more appropriate,\u201d Prahl Martin said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, adolescent brains are still developing, thus adolescents should be treated accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the plans the Transition Age team is working toward is a developmentally appropriate justice system, with \u201cincreased family engagement and greater attention to procedural fairness, including interactions with police, legal representation for youth, and reduced use of juvenile fines and fees.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hennepin County is following some of NASEM\u2019s recommendations. Part of Prahl Martin\u2019s focus in this area is the county\u2019s Transition Age probation unit, which works to create an environment where young people can thrive and learn from their mistakes. Currently, Hennepin County District Court is working to make expungement, or the removal of one\u2019s criminal records, easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHennepin County has been taking steps in certain sentencing cases and in certain diversion efforts to make sure that the record is gone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prahl Martin notes that the benefits of expungement have opened doors for housing, education and employment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While dealing with the consequences of one\u2019s actions is extremely important, Hennepin County has been and continues working on initiatives to help prevent youth from entering the criminal justice system. Partnering with Allina Health, Hennepin County has implemented a program called Change to Chill in public schools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program focuses on creating a safe environment where young people can get the help they need. From providing rooms where young people can hang out to providing counselling, Change to Chill is providing underrepresented communities the help they often do not receive.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godwin Kasongoma, a senior at Columbia Heights High School, said, \u201cI didn\u2019t really see this much devotion to mental health (at her school). I\u2019m disappointed that they did not have this program earlier on.\u201d Godwin is an intern with the Transition Age Youth coordinators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godwin noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have had a significant impact on students\u2019 mental health, and life in general. Because of her passion in the area, Godwin joined the Student Wellness Committee at her high school, focusing on student well-being.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prahl Martin, Godwin, and other interns and Transition Age Youth coordinators work to create a better community for young people by helping them correct their mistakes, work through their traumas and then change the course of their life. They are the future of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYoung people are the heart of our community,\u201d Prahl Martin said. \u201cAnd we want to make sure our heart\u2019s going strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Nickel Tom, 360 Journalism<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1570\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.peregrine-themes.com\/blogun-liteone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/StockSnap_1MI3HNLMRI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/StockSnap_1MI3HNLMRI.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/StockSnap_1MI3HNLMRI-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/StockSnap_1MI3HNLMRI-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/StockSnap_1MI3HNLMRI-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/StockSnap_1MI3HNLMRI-1536x1096.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/StockSnap_1MI3HNLMRI-2048x1462.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.peregrine-themes.com\/blogun-liteone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/texture-pattern-color-paint-graffiti-art-138600-pxhere-min-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-679\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.peregrine-themes.com\/blogun-liteone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/retro-decoration-pattern-paint-graffiti-artwork-885768-pxhere-min-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-678\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.peregrine-themes.com\/blogun-liteone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/mouse-wall-decoration-green-red-spray-1389482-pxhere-min-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.peregrine-themes.com\/blogun-liteone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/flower-artist-paint-modern-artwork-art-143286-pxhere-min-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-680\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.peregrine-themes.com\/blogun-liteone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/color-graffiti-painting-street-art-art-illustration-593273-pxhere-min-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-682\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" data-id=\"661\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.peregrine-themes.com\/blogun-liteone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/amusement-park-paint-carousel-modern-painting-art-143317-pxhere-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/amusement-park-paint-carousel-modern-painting-art-143317-pxhere-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/amusement-park-paint-carousel-modern-painting-art-143317-pxhere-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/amusement-park-paint-carousel-modern-painting-art-143317-pxhere-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/amusement-park-paint-carousel-modern-painting-art-143317-pxhere-1536x1096.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/youthonassignment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/amusement-park-paint-carousel-modern-painting-art-143317-pxhere-2048x1462.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whirlwinds of emotions, impulsivity and the teenage brain.
