Youth PSB Project

JJPI operates a project called Strengthening Interventions in Philadelphia for Youth with Problem Sexual Behaviors through funding from the Federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).

The project involves:

• Expanding the availability of evidence-based interventions for individuals with demonstrated problem sexual behaviors (PSB) to prevent re-offending
• Implementing a school-based screening process that pre-emptively identifies and treats youth with possible PSB
• Strengthening the existing network of organizations working in the area of PSB, through coordinating a multi-disciplinary team of local government agencies and community-based organizations
