The Youth Sub-Committee's purpose is to support infrastructure development for adolescent treatment in Illinois.  Infrastructure development strives to improve the adolescent treatment system by: 

• Linking and coordinating services, budgets, and benfits across state agencies;
• Developing policies that improve licensing and credentialing for providers of adolescent services;
• Increasing the number of agencies using evidence-based treatment and comprehensive, standardized assessments;
• Improving workforce development;
• Disseminating knowledge about model programs, research, and opportunities for funding or other involvement;
• Involving families.
