This measure shows the percent of youth who have been released from the Juvenile Justice and Youth Services (JJYS), Youth Services Implementation program, during specific State Fiscal Years, and subsequently avoid Court Ordered custody to the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) or JJYS, or Court Ordered Formal Probation within 90 days of release. Data for JJYS enrollments and Court Ordered custody to DCFS, JJYS, or Court Ordered Formal Probation, are collected through the JJYS case management information system.

Results for this measure are updated reported annually, within 45 days after the end of the State Fiscal Year.

As a result of significant Utah policy reform and practice change in 2017, Juvenile Justice and Youth Services (JJYS) now serves thousands of youth in early intervention services throughout Utah. The design of JJYS early intervention is to prevent youth from further involvement within the juvenile justice or child welfare systems when possible.

JJYS's goal is to help youth live safe and healthy lives right in their homes, schools, and communities. In State Fiscal Year 2023, 98% of the youth completing this phase of early intervention services avoided any further system involvement. This is a significant achievement and contributes to JJYS's target of 100% of youth in youth services avoid custody within 90 days of release.
