Calcasieu Parish Reform Annie E. Casey Foundation “Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative”
MacArthur Foundation “Models for Change”
Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) – Pilot Site
The Vera Institute, New York, NY observed and documented how the parish currently responds to status offenders. A paper was published on the four elements of Calcasieu’s system that stood out as consistent with national best practice.
“The Need for Change” “In Calcasieu Parish, we realized that although we did not have
the answers, we knew we had a lot of room for improvement. We decided to change the way we do business!”
• Number of juveniles referred to court and/or to detention was not
decreasing • Due to the above, we were not providing effective programming for
our kids • Overall we were not being efficient enough to provide quality
services • We were not always focusing on the “right kids” • Timing in our parish was “ripe” for change
Multi-Agency Resource Center
The center is a collaborative project of the Calcasieu Parish Children and Youth Planning Board Member agencies.
The mission of the MARC is to provide a single entry point and coordinated approach to juvenile services for the youth and families of Calcasieu Parish.

MARC Outcome Research Questions
Are youth referred to MARC more likely to be successfully diverted compared to prior system youth?
Does MARC produce a net-widening effect? How well are youth assessed and referred to the
appropriate services based on their needs? Did the implementation of MARC increase the
speed of service delivery and case processing of youth?
MARC Benefits
Reduced time to re-referrals ◦ Pre-MARC days to new referral- 125 ◦ Post-MARC days to new referral- 159
The Art of Listening! “I recall being asked to comment on the issues law enforcement experienced with
juveniles. I distinctly remember explaining that we knew what to do when kids
commit a felony. However, the problem was what to do with guardians when they call and kids won’t clean their rooms, do homework and other non-specific things that were behavioral and not necessarily
criminal” More “Tools in the Toolbox”
Lessons Learned
Engaging Court Officials: • Understand their roles in the system and identify how they will
benefit from reform. • Acknowledge barriers up front and propose practical solutions to
removing them
Engaging School Officials: • Face to face contact works better than emails or phone calls. • Address how this effort aligns with their agency objectives
Engaging Law Enforcement: Engage law enforcement not only from the onset, but at every
stage of reform. A strong foundation only increases sustainability. Acknowledge that system change is reciprocal with Law
Enforcement. This requires a understanding of their operating systems.
Listening to Results “Now that we have the center which is
open it has dramatically changed the process for handling juveniles in our community, as well as provide law
enforcement with a valuable option that enables them to first be able to
keep the juvenile safe and at the same time allow them to return back to their
respective duties.” More “Tools in the Toolbox”
Systemic Cultural Sustainability • Continuous, ongoing training through
the Academy • Reviewing and analyzing the data • Educating the public on the results
Accepting the “My Child” challenge
• It requires understanding, commitment, and tools.
