The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory: Screening Research Version (YLS/CMI:SRV) is designed to provide an initial screening of risk and need levels in 12-18 year olds for purposes of determining the level and nature of interventions required by the youth. This eight item assessment is a screening version of the full length Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory™ 2.0 (YLS/CMI™ 2.0), which is a gender and cultural-informed, strength-focused risk/needs tool that reliably and accurately classifies and predicts re-offending within male/female juvenile populations. The YLS/CMI: SRV is successfully used in conjunction with the YLS/CMI 2.0 by many statewide organizations to assess youth for their risk to reoffend.
To administer the YLS/CMI:SRV training is required for those who do not have the requisite b-level educational qualifications. Training is also recommended for those who need in-depth knowledge of the YLS/CMI:SRV and its use and interpretation. By attending our YLS/CMI 2.0 User Training, you will learn necessary skills for interviewing a juvenile offender, accurately scoring an YLS/CMI:SRV assessment, as well as enhancing the quality of case management, treatment planning, and service delivery. Individuals interested in becoming a YLS/CMI:SRV Trainer or Master Trainer should complete a YLS/CMI 2.0 Trainer Training session.
