Needs Assessment - This will be the community wide needs assessment.
Risk Factor(s)Protective Factor(s)
Two primary community protective factors will be utilized through this project. One protective
factor will be to provide additional resources to youth participating in the Juvenile Diversion
program. This grant will provide resources to make available an in-house substance abuse
education program that will be available to all appropriate youth regardless of income. Urine
Analysis (UA's) and drug and alcohol evaluations will also be provided to help prevent further
drug and alcohol use. We also will be providing funds for clients to easily access counseling and
parenting services regardless of costs. Funds will also be available for youth to participate in
local recreational or school activities. A second community protective factor is providing
supportive networks and social bonds. The "Ropes Course" will specifically be used to help
build rapport between counselors and their juvenile clients while also developing a support
network for the juveniles through their interaction with Diversion staff and other juveniles in the
program.
Target Population
The 19th Judicial District Attorney's Juvenile Diversion program is a pre-court program for
primarily first offense and minor offense juveniles age 10-17. Weld County is the target
population area with the majority of the juveniles being from the Greeley area. The Juvenile
Diversion population served for this project will be: 1) juveniles who are identified as having
substance abuse issues through the Colorado Youth Offender Level of Service Inventory
(CYO/LSI), 2)juveniles and families who have been identified as needing counseling and/or
parenting services based on the CYO/LSI, 3)juveniles who financially do not have access to
local activities due to their families income.
Goals and Objectives
Goal I - To Provide services to Juvenile Diversion clients and/or their families which will help
to prevent further involvement with the criminal justice system.
Objectives:
1. Five Substance Abuse Prevention groups facilitated by Island Grove Treatment Center staff
will be offered in-house through Juvenile Diversion.
2. Juvenile Diversion clients with identified drug and/or alcohol issues will be required to have
UA's taken at no cost to the client.
3. Five Juvenile Diversion clients with identified more serious drug and alcohol issues will be
required to have drug and alcohol evaluations completed with specific recommendations as to
treatment.
4. Five Juvenile Diversion clients and/or families who have identified needs for Counseling will
be referred for services at no cost.
5. Ten Juvenile Diversion families who have identified needs and interest in parenting classes
will be referred for services at no cost.
6. Thirty low income Juvenile Diversion juveniles will be provided funds to participate in school
and/or recreational activities and also bus passes to insure transportation.
7. Recognition items for juveniles who have been identified by counselors as doing very well in
Diversion and/or school or at home will be provided.
Goal II - To Provide an opportunity for Juvenile Diversion counselors to interact with their more
high-risk clients in a supportive environment outside of the office setting.
Objective:
1. A half day ropes course facilitated through Psychcare will be provided for eight identified
more high-risk clients and four Juvenile Diversion counselors.
Service Provision
This grant will provide for an in-house substance abuse education program to be provided
through Island Grove. This program will be broken down into three 90 minute sessions. Each
group will provide services for between 5-10 juveniles. A total of five groups and
approximately 40 juveniles will be served through this project. The clients will be referred to
these groups by the Diversion counselors. Clients who have been referred will have proven drug
and/or alcohol abuse issues based on the counselor's assessment. Clients will also be referred for
UA's and drug and alcohol evaluations when appropriate. Both the UA's and evaluations will
help gauge the current use of the juvenile and with this information the counselor will be better
able to provide appropriate referrals. The UA's and evaluations will be provided by either Island
Grove Treatment Center or The Restitution Center.
Counseling services and parenting services will be provided through a list of qualified providers
that have agreed to the lower fee schedule. These lists will be given to the client's family to
choose which provider they would like to have a referral for.
Recreational and school activity opportunities will be identified and appropriate referrals will be
made for low income clients who are interested in participating in a specific activity. Bus passes
will be provided and the activity will be paid for through the Diversion program.
Recognition items will be given to juveniles who have been identified by their Diversion
counselors as exhibiting an excellent attitude or have shown dramatic progress while in the
Diversion Program.
Proposed Service Outcomes
The Juvenile Diversion program will have an affordable means to provide Substance abuse
education information to our clients who have been identified as having drug and/or alcohol
abuse issues. Through this project 40 identified youth will complete a three session, five hour
substance abuse education program facilitated at the Juvenile Diversion office by Island Grove
Treatment Center staff. Juveniles will then have additional information and skills to better deal
with their substance abuse issues in working in conjunction with their Diversion counselors.
Counselors will also have the availability to make a referral for VA's for those juveniles who
have been identified as currently using drugs and/or alcohol. Both of these services will be
provided at no cost to the juvenile. Through the groups and UA's the counselor will be better
able to work with the juvenile to become drug and alcohol free during the time they are in the
Juvenile Diversion program.
Through the activity funds project low income clients will have access to local recreational
activities that they would otherwise not be involved in due to lack of funds. These activities will
provide an opportunity for the juveniles to be involved in experiences and meet other youth who
are involved in pro-social activities. The recognition awards will encourage Diversion youth to
continue working toward their goals.
Through the "Ropes Course" program a total of 8 designated higher risk juveniles will complete
a half day program with their counselors. Proposed outcomes for the ropes course will be: I)
counselors will build additional rapport with their clients, 2) clients will develop additional skills
such as team building and problem solving, 3) juveniles will build confidence in them selves and
boost their self esteem, 4) and that counselors and juveniles will develop a sense of trust and
additional understanding of each other.
Evaluation System
Statistics will be kept as to the number of juveniles participating in each program. Specific
statistics will be taken as to how many UA's each youth has taken and if they stayed clean while
in the program. A pre and post test will also be given to all substance education groups, clients
participating in activities and the ropes course group, to measure changes in attitudes, skills, and
information.
Past Results
We are currently in the first year of our YCPI grant so results are still in the early stages. Clients
participating in our first substance abuse prevention classes showed increased knowledge as to
what they can do to stay away from drugs and alcohol. We have also found that counselors have
been able to assign UA's immediately to clients they have had concerns about, without concerns
related to the clients' family's income. This has helped counselors to have current information as
to what drugs, if any, and to what extent, the client has been using.
Collaboration
Many various organizations will be participating in this project. Juvenile Diversion will refer the
juveniles for the substance abuse education program and provide for the group room where the
classes will be held. Island Grove Treatment Center will provide the CAC III facilitator for the 3
group program. Clients will be referred for UA's through Island Grove Treatment Center and
The Restitution Center. Parenting classes and counseling services will be referred through a
process of identifying those agencies and/or individuals who have the therapeutic skills and
lower fee schedule. The activity component of the program will entail developing relationships
with the various Weld County schools and area recreational programs. Juvenile Diversion will
also refer juveniles for the one ropes course activity. Northern Colorado Psychcare will provide
the ropes course and the facilitators for each half day program. All of these organizations will be
working collaboratively to continually assess the content and success of the programs, and make
changes when and if necessary and appropriate.
Administrative Capability
The Juvenile Diversion program currently has various grants that are administered through Weld
County. This grant will be administered by the Community Programs Administrator with final
contract approval required by the Weld County Board of Commissioners.
Sustainability
Through the proven success of these programs other funding sources will be targeted. Future
funding sources may include justice related grants, funding though the county, and foundation
grants.
