Commissioner Raquel Regalado

In this educational webinar, the Miami-Dade County Community Services Department walks through their comprehensive, data-driven approach to juvenile justice diversion, prevention, and early intervention.

Director Cathy and program specialist Elena break down the full continuum of services available to at-risk youth and their families — from the moment a juvenile comes into contact with law enforcement, all the way through community-based aftercare and prevention.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

How Miami-Dade's diversion programs work and who qualifies
The evidence-based assessment tools used to identify mental health, substance use, and family needs (GAIN-Q, YLS, ACEs screening)
The Young Offenders Protocol for youth under 12
How the Prevention Program serves at-risk youth before any contact with law enforcement — open to all families
How the county partners with schools, the State Attorney's Office, law enforcement, and community organizations
Current data trends on youth served and risk levels

🔑 Key Takeaway: No child needs to be arrested to receive services. The Prevention Program is open to any youth displaying at-risk behaviors — referrals accepted from parents, schools, law enforcement, and community partners.

In Session 4 of our AI Workshop Series, we explored how to build practical AI skills and agents using Manus.im.

While we briefly discussed creating audio and video business artifacts with AI, the majority of this session focused on hands-on demonstrations of building AI skills inside the Manus platform. Participants learned how to design structured AI workflows that can automate tasks, assist with research, generate content, and support business operations.

During this session we covered:
• How AI agents work
• What “skills” are inside AI systems
• How to build custom AI skills using Manus.im
