Commission highlights new juvenile resource guide and youth coalition website
Summary
Commissioner Shelton showcased a newly published youth resource guide and juvenile court web page compiling about 40 community resources and a way for organizations to join the Youth Resource Coalition.
Commissioner Shelton presented a new juvenile resources web page and a companion resource guide developed through the county's Youth Resource Coalition.
Shelton said the updated county webpage and guide list approximately 40 community resources, including the learning center, Austin Peay, Centerstone, Sunrise Counseling, Montgomery County Child Advocacy Center, Youth Villages and the Salvation Army. He said the page provides direct contacts and a way for organizations to join the coalition. "This is the kind of thing that we've been talking about doing," Shelton said, and urged commissioners and the public to review the guide at the county website.
Shelton credited juvenile-court staff Tia Moore and Ed Moss and said the coalition aims to give families easy access to services whether or not children are already involved with the court. He said the resource guide will help families find services and allow local organizations to coordinate more effectively. The commission placed the informational item on the agenda; no formal action was reported in the transcript.
