A : The options available under the demographic section are taken directly from the options available in <br /> NCALLIES . This leads to a larger issue of NCALLIES possibly needing an update to the demographic <br /> options available in the system . <br /> The JCPC would like to explore if there is already a template developed by another county that has more <br /> inclusive demographic options and if it ' s possible to have NCALLIES updated as well . David will reach <br /> out to the lead consultant and report back . <br /> To summarize , the JCPC is in favor making the financial section of the report optional , changing Hispanic <br /> black to Hispanic non-white , and adding greater inclusionary language within the demographic section . <br /> Carol McClelland motioned to adopt this form with the option to complete the financial section and <br /> contingent upon what David finds out from a higher level with regards to changes to the demographic <br /> section and Bernard Miles seconded . Motion passed unanimously . <br /> Risk and Needs Committee — The Risk and Needs Committee met last month to review YAZI data , <br /> identify the needs of the youth in our county and where there may be gaps in services . The YAZI is <br /> administered by the juvenile court counselors and is 33 questions long . There are some questions that are <br /> historic , such as legal history, and others that are more dynamic and answers can change overtime . The <br /> committee also reviewed racial equity report provided by the Southern Coalition on Juvenile Justice , but <br /> for some reason Orange County schools did not provide any data . <br /> Some of the areas of concern for Orange County include : <br /> • Prior runaway history <br /> • Family history of substance use problems <br /> • Family history of mental health problems <br /> • Marginal or inadequate supervision <br /> • Poor school performance (failing classes , attendance rate) <br /> • School infractions or interventions <br /> • Short-term suspension , particularly among black youth, multiracial youth, and youth with <br /> disabilities <br /> • Association with delinquent peers and gangs <br /> • Alcohol and drug use with few youth receiving services/treatment <br /> • Mental health problems <br /> • Prior physical or sexual abuse history <br /> • Low rate of involvement in structured activities <br /> After reviewing the data, the committee decided that the following program types should be considered <br /> for funding and included in the RFP . <br /> • Interpersonal skill building <br /> • Substance abuse counseling <br /> • Individual , group , mixed counseling <br /> • Mediation/conflict resolution <br /> • Parent and family skill building <br /> • Family counseling <br /> • Temporary shelter care <br /> • Runaway shelter care <br /> • Restitution/community service <br />
