o Young people and families needing bi-lingual mental health and substance abuse services <br /> often experience waitlist for services due to the scarcity of bi-lingual therapists and <br /> language interpretation. There are limited mental health or substance abuse services <br /> available for undocumented youth. <br /> o While Orange County does have a domestic violence service provider, the services <br /> offered are limited and are targeted more towards adults experiencing it as victims. <br /> There are no services offered to children/youth who experience or witness discord or <br /> violence in their homes. <br /> Part V. Proposed Priority Services for Funding <br /> The committee compared the services needed to address the elevated Juvenile Risk Factors and <br /> Juvenile Needs with services currently available in the community. Services which are currently <br /> available in the community and sufficient to meet the needs of court involved youth or those <br /> youth most at risk for court involvement are not considered as a priority for JCPC funding. <br /> The Committee proposes that the following service be approved as the funding priorities <br /> for FY 17-18: <br /> 1. Restitution/Community Service <br /> 2. Assessment/Treatment Programs for Un/Underinsured(including Substance Abuse; <br /> Trauma Based Therapy) <br /> 3. Teen Court <br /> 4. Temporary Shelter Services (specifically Emergency Shelter) <br /> 5. Parent/Family Skill Building <br /> 6. Mediation/Conflict Resolution(including School Based) <br /> 7. Interpersonal Skill Building <br /> 8. Mentoring <br /> 9. Tutoring/Academic Enhancement <br />
