PROJECT SL.CIAR'i : The St. Anthony Youth Intervention project is designed <br /> to serve young people with petitionaible behavior problems who <br /> live in the St. Anthony - New Brighton School attendance area <br /> (District 282) , the cerrz7unitles of St. Anthony and New Brighton <br /> (part) . It responds to the unique problem this area has in <br /> being situated within two metronolitan counties (Hennepin and <br /> Ramsey) , and yet frequently isolated frog the services of either. <br /> There are currently no programs for young people that serves <br /> this area beyond the schools , police, churches , and recreation <br /> programs. Police and school personnel have been particularly <br /> concerned about the lack of available counseling resources for <br /> young people who live in the Cities of St. Anthony and New <br /> Brighton. <br /> The prlr^ary goal of this project is to Provide individual, group, <br /> and family counseling, and parent education services for young <br /> people and their families in the St. Anthony - New Brighton <br /> attendance area. By providing; these and other services we will <br /> reduce the number of young; people who enter or re-enter the <br /> juvenile justice system. Special efforts will be nade to reach <br /> petitionable behavior problem youth identified by the police , <br /> school, and .juvenile court personnel. Referrals from other sources <br /> such as schools , churches , comnunity groups , parents , and young <br /> persons themselves will also be accepted. <br /> In addition regular conmunication will be established with other <br /> existing services to enhance that which exists and to prevent <br /> or reduce any duplication. Specific probler.. areas will be defined <br /> and effort will be made to implement services that meet those <br /> problems. Involvement of individuals and groups within the <br /> St. Anthonv area will be encouraged in order to promote support <br /> for the program and make it pore responsive to the citizens needs <br /> and wants. <br /> Staff for the St . Anthony - New Brighton Youth Intervention Project <br /> will consist of one full-time Youth!Fanily Counselor. The Nort'livest <br /> Suburban Youth Service Bureau Board of Directors will act as the <br /> implementine, agency. Its Board of Directors is composed of repre- <br /> sentatives of the following groups : police , ,juvenile court , schools, <br /> cities , youth and area residents. Its Board of Directors would <br /> be expanded to include police , city, school, youth and citizen <br /> representation from the St. Anthony - New Brighton area during the <br /> period of this project. <br /> This proposal addresses a community need and has been developed <br /> through a community effort. <br />
