Strategy 9 - Launch the JustCare 180° program to “turnaround” youth with unruly and delinquent behavior.
Team Leader: Judge Curtis Person, Memphis and Shelby County Juvenile Court.
|
Cummings School, Soulsville USA, JustCare 180o and the Ujima Family Wellness Center recently presented a resource provider workshop to promote healthy youth, families and communities.
The workshop enabled resource providers to understand the necessity of wrap around services and the root causes of unhealthy families and communities. The providers also had an opportunity to collaborate and develop strategies to provide quality resources for the South Memphis community.
Also, the community enjoyed a resource fair including food and live entertainment.
JustCare 180o is a comprehensive program to reduce juvenile delinquency through existing community-based resources including counselors for youth and families. The pilot program led by Tennessee Voices for Children is currently being implemented in two Memphis area communities in conjunction with the Lemoyne-Owen College and Southeast Community Development Corporations. Funding for the pilot programs was granted by the City of Memphis.
