The Case for Universal CSEC Screening in Juvenile and Family Court

King County Juvenile Court CSEC Program implemented universal CSEC Screening using a validated CSEC screening tool (the CSE-IT) in Juvenile and Family Court Becca Programs in 2022. Kelly Mangiaracina, CSEC Policy and Program Manager, and Kris Bennet, CSEC Coordinator and Screener, will detail their efforts to implement this work and their preliminary screening results. This presentation will focus on the “how to” of universal screening, from staffing, to data collection, to next steps post-screen. They will discuss lessons learned in the first year of screening and describe the benefits and the drawbacks of implementing universal screening in a Juvenile Court setting.
