Juvenile Justice Conference
2025-11-05 - 2025-11-07 | Hilton Harrisburg, One N 2nd St., Harrisburg, 17101, United States
Join hundreds of dedicated professionals for the James E. Anderson Pennsylvania Conference on Juvenile Justice from November 5-7, 2025, at the Hilton Harrisburg. This year, we celebrate 30 years of Balanced and Restorative Justice (BARJ), focusing on the past, present, and future of juvenile justice through the eyes of youth, families, victims, and professionals. The conference theme, “Healing My Past to Impact Our Future,” aligns perfectly with critical legislative topics like increasing oversight and accountability of juvenile facilities, strengthening protections against abuse, and improving mental health services for system-involved youth. Network with judges, probation officers, service providers, and system stakeholders as you explore cutting-edge, data-driven strategies and evidence-based practices to advance community protection, accountability, and competency development across the Commonwealth.
