This team works intensely with these youth and families to identify and meet their needs through the implementation of several evidenced based approaches and

best practice models.  Youth are diverted from the juvenile justice (including detention center usage) and court system, reducing the burden of cost and other resources to both the state and county for youth that are very low risk to the community, but often use a lot of the court system's time.
