Dr. Kruh trains North Carolina juvenile court judges on evaluations of juvenile competence to proceed

On November 21, 2024, as part of a day-long training on "Juvenile Capacity to Proceed" for juvenile court judges offered by the University of North Carolina's School of Government, Dr. Kruh presented a session on how forensic mental health evaluators conduct juvenile competency evaluations at a best practices level. This was part of a day-long session helping juvenile court judges to understand the nuances of North Carolina's new juvenile competency statute and the implementation of juvenile competency evaluation and remediation services. Dr. Kruh's session was offered as a simultaneous webinar for professionals at North Carolina's Division of Juvenile Justice throughout the state.

If you are interested in having Dr. Kruh, through National Youth Screening and Assessment Partners (NYSAP), provide a training to your group on the topic of juvenile competency to stand trial, or you are in need of a juvenile competency evaluation, please contact Dr. Kruh at [email protected].
