Description

The Hamilton County Juvenile Court will use the FY 2009 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration funding to add a research-based substance abuse education program to the Hamilton County Pretrial Diversion Docket. The program, Teen Intervene, will serve all youth and families who have been assessed as being at-risk for future drug or alcohol dependence. Additionally, the project expansion will include the development of an infrastructure of informal, non-traditional linkages that will provide physical, emotional, social, recreational, educational, vocational, and spiritual support and resources for the youth and families on the docket.
