Supporting families as an early intervention strategy is crucial to preventing youth justice involvement. Families are the foundation of a young person’s development and addressing challenges within the family unit such as financial hardship, domestic violence, or systemic disadvantage can significantly reduce the risk of negative behaviours. Early support strengthens family bonds, improves communication, and fosters stability, ensuring youth feel nurtured and guided in making positive life choices. By providing families with resources, advocacy, and access to essential services, communities can break intergenerational cycles of disadvantage, mitigate external pressures, and promote a safer, more supportive environment for young people. This proactive approach is not only cost-effective but also instrumental in empowering families to create new opportunities and pathways that keep youth out of the justice system and set them up for long-term success.

It truly takes a village to raise a child. For unaccompanied children to thrive, they need all the possible resources to migrate safely into the country. KIND’s Blueprint emphasizes that it’s going to take all of us---policymakers, advocates, and even the everyday citizen, to make a change for these children’s future.
