Transforming U: DJJ

The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice Transforming U is an agency-wide online initiative that provides DJJ employees with resources and activities that promote a healthier lifestyle. 

Via Transforming U, employees can:

• Discover the Six Pillars of Transforming U, which can help improve mental, spiritual, financial, social, emotional, and physical well-being.
• Get the latest information on DJJ-specific healthy activities like our popular monthly Lunch and Learn video series or monthly wellness challenges.
• Find contact information for dedicated Peer Support Team members who are ready to lend guidance, comfort, and support during moments of crisis.

The Transforming U initiative strives to improve employees' overall health and well-being in all aspects of their lives. So whether you want to read an article on managing compassion fatigue, watch a video on healthy eating habits, or simply speak with someone in need with Transforming U, you now have the tools to be a better "U."

DJJ employees play a crucial role in shaping brighter futures for the young people we serve. Our motto, "Together We Can," celebrates this commitment and reminds us that lasting change for our young people occurs only when we unite as one team.

Whether it's our Commissioner, Juvenile Correctional Officer, Probation Specialist, Food Service Worker, or Teacher, every role within Georgia DJJ matters. Together, we form a network of support, guidance, and care that helps justice-involved youth discover a better path forward.
