45 <br /> Reintegr-cation Su]jI)or°t Nehvor°k—No referrals were received in July, but they have four participants that <br /> are still enrolled. They are sending out program highlights that will include reminders about the referral <br /> process. The biggest barrier they are tackling as an organization at the moment is transportation. David is <br /> currently working with them to help revise their transportation policy because they have realized there is a <br /> tremendous need for mentors to be able to transport youth. <br /> Q: How many youth have you been serving since being funded by JCPC last year? <br /> A: They are surprised that they don't receive more referrals from court counselors or other JCPC <br /> organizations. They partnered with Boomerang with their first efforts at a summer camp that served 10 <br /> students. Overall, they have seen a 50% increase in referrals during the 22/23 fiscal year. <br /> Volunteers for Youth---They did not submit their report form; it got lost during the transition of the new <br /> director. They will submit it after this meeting. <br /> Teen Court is still slow because their coordinator just had her baby and Nicole has been working with <br /> both Community Service and Teen Court programs. They have served one family and have a total of <br /> three. Community Service referrals are rolling in. The biggest challenge right now is the transition from <br /> Susan to the new director. They will also be reaching out to other referral sources for Teen Court because <br /> their numbers have been low these past couple years (most of it was because of Covid). Their goal this <br /> fiscal year is to not cancel Teen Court and go back to the mock trials that they used to hold. Any ideas and <br /> referrals are always welcome. <br /> PVrenn Horse —No representative is present to report. JCPC Chair read their report. <br /> They are projected to serve 10 youth this year and have received one referral/admission in July. The <br /> referral was from DSS for a white male due to a disrupted placement. Staff continue to provide case <br /> management, counseling sessions, and life skills to youth in care. Wrenn House Clinician has increased <br /> completion of Person-Centered-Plans for each youth in case. Life skills sessions have addressed nutrition <br /> and social boundaries. They indicate that there is great collaboration with stakeholders and representatives <br /> regarding the Orange County youth admitted and that communication was effective and response times <br /> were fast. <br /> JJ Data Update (See chart at end of minutes) <br /> Christy Watson is the new supervisor for Orange County and Jon is going to be taking over Alamance. <br /> Christy is willing and able to join the JCPC and fill Jon's vacant seat if that's a wish of the JCPC and the <br /> County Commissioners. <br /> May-- 13 juveniles at intake (7 were RTA); 65 delinquent complaints; 0 tndisciplined complaints; 12 <br /> school-based complaints; 53 complaints approved for court; 9 complaints diverted; 3 complaints closed; 5 <br /> juveniles placed in detention for 62 days; 0 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. <br /> June 16 juveniles at intake (10 were RTA); 20 delinquent complaints; 1 undisciplined complaint; 1 <br /> school-based complaint; 13 complaints approved for court; 4 complaints diverted; 5 complaints closed; 5 <br /> juveniles placed in detention for 121 days; 0 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. <br /> Three of the five youth in detention are transfers to superior court and two had more serious offenses that <br /> resulted in a YDC commitment.
