In this episode, complementing the release of the GFCM Guidebook, Executive Director John Tuell engages in a discussion with Jonathan Cloud, the creator of the GFCM approach and co-author of the guidebook. Their conversation explores how GFCM transforms youth justice practices by prioritizing support for youth during their critical developmental stages, fostering positive identity formation, and promoting desistance from future offending behaviors. Jonathan outlines how GFCM acts as a guiding framework for youth justice practitioners, emphasizing its principles, practices, and transformative outcomes detailed in the GFCM Guidebook. Join us as we explore how the GFCM framework, rooted in research, drives profound and lasting behavioral changes among youth within the justice system.
