 Preliminary
Findings for the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration's
Dialectic Behavior
Therapy Program
In response to
concerns about mental health problems in its resident juvenile
offender population, Washington State's Juvenile Rehabilitation
Administration (JRA) initiated a pilot project called Dialectic
Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT was implemented during 1998 and 1999
at Copalis Cottage, a mental health unit within JRA's Echo Glenn
Children's Center in eastern King County. By 2000, DBT was fully
operational with an on-site DBT consultant and trained cottage
staff. The Washington State Institute for Public Policy
(Institute) was asked to evaluate the DBT pilot as part of our
legislatively directed role to consult with JRA on ways to
implement research-proven programs.
