Exchange on Juvenile Delinquency, Rehabilitation, and Psychological Support in the Correctional System

The Hanns Seidel Foundation, in cooperation with the Department for the Execution of Imprisonment Sentences of the General Authority for Court Decision Enforcement of Mongolia and the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, organized a professional meeting for psychologists and social workers working in correctional facilities. The discussions focused on the causes of juvenile delinquency, psychological support approaches, and measures to promote successful social reintegration.

During the meeting, participants exchanged views on the causes of juvenile delinquency and the psychological and social factors that may contribute to criminal behavior. International experiences and best practices in offender rehabilitation were also presented and discussed. Particular attention was given to measures that support successful social reintegration and help reduce the risk of reoffending.

Another key focus was the psychological support of juveniles and young adults, especially those affected by substance abuse and addiction-related challenges. Participants explored various approaches to psychological assessment, counseling, and rehabilitation, as well as their practical application within correctional settings. The discussions were complemented by insights into German experiences and current research findings in the field.

The professional meeting provided an important platform for participants to share experiences, gain new perspectives, and develop practical approaches for working with juvenile and young offenders. The discussions highlighted the crucial role of psychological and social support in promoting rehabilitation and facilitating the successful reintegration of young people into society.
