Create a presumption of community-based responses for most youth, limiting the use of commitment and out-of-home placement. Develop placements that could better address the needs of the small number of youth requiring an out-of-home placement.
Eliminate mandatory length of stay requirements and create length of stay guidelines for youth in placement that are aligned with research, best practices, and considerations of victims. Create a process for judicial review of commitments and out-of-home placements.

CCLP: “All of this *can and should* be done while Maine invests in creating community-based continuums of care and implements other recommendations.”
