Serves youth who are unruly and do not meet criteria to be involved on a Diversion level with the Court but they and their families are struggling with a multitude of challenges. Conferencing seeks to link natural supports and community services in an effort to divert the youth from official court involvement and to provide the family with services that will reduce the unruly behaviors of the youth. The focus is on promoting self-determination and skill building providing a forum for the family to resolve their own issues. Through family conferencing, a mediator and therapist work to facilitate a process that will pull the natural support system together to problem solve and develop a family plan that makes sense to the culture of the family. The family is provided support, encouragement and skill building and/or referral and linkage to other community supports.
