loat We ()for <br />YOUTH INTERVENTION SERVICES follows a <br />restorative justice model that brings together <br />the youth, their family, aryl the community to <br />offer redirection and support. Educational <br />classes are offered for parents and teens. <br />* Staged photo, not actual intervention clients. <br />Programs include a weekly teen 12-step addiction recovery group called "Our Place," Teen <br />Intervene (TI) for teens with mild to moderate chemical use, Chemical Health screens and Rule 25 <br />Chemical Health assessments, and services for youth suspended from school. Intervention <br />services also offers Reasoning Skills Programs (RSP) for ages 10 —17 to help build and strengthen <br />decision making. <br />A Good Starting Point... <br />A youth came to us through diversion for a chemical related offense and was referred to our 12- <br />step group, Our Place. He was attending regularly, and continued to attend even after he met his <br />requirements for his diversion program. His parents were also very involved and asked what other <br />programs we had to offer. <br />The youth and his family decided he would like to attend "Launch," one of our new enrichment <br />programs. Since he came to us through the diversion program, the youth has identified his struggles <br />with school, set goals for the semester, and come up with strategies to address his challenges. He <br />has been following through on his strategies, and has shown improvement in the completion of his <br />school work this semester. <br />T,h e Impact We Make <br />We believe when youth have healthy relationships, meaningful involvement and relevant learning experiences, <br />they grow up able to care for themselves, care for others and contribute to the world in a positive way. LC4YF <br />programs integrate these three components: <br />Healthy relationships within families, with positive adult role model and with peers. <br />• Meaningful involvement within their communities, providing powerful opportunities to learn about and engage in the world <br />around them. <br />• Relevant learning Experiences within their world, of their choosing, and free from judgment. <br />
