Residential Treatment Program Meeting PDF Print E-mail

A retreat was held at  5 Rivers Delta Resource Center to provide group interaction between the Youth Court and the providers of the newly designed Residential Treatment Program.

The outing was exceptional. It provided a climate for dialogue across the table for the requesters of services to the providers of the services. Attendees had an opportunity to talk about what services did not work in the past and what might work in the future.

The groups represented were the Mobile County Youth Court Judge, a Court Referee, Probation and Detention staff, The Bridge, Alta Point and University of South Alabama Psychiatric Department. A good time was had by all and lots of positive work was accomplished.

How you can help

It's not up to adults and police to do something about youth violence. Adult solutions won't work by themselves. Youth can - and should - do something. If you want to start seeing changes in your school or where you live, here are some things that you should do:

  • be aware there is a problem.
  • recognize that violence affects everyone - anyone can be a victim.
  • talk about violence with your friends and family - take a stand.
  • don' t react to violence with more violence.
  • get together - find ways to help stop violence in your school or where you live before it happens.
  • if there's a youth council, get involved - help promote positive alternatives to youth and gang violence where you live.
  • call or write your local media - let them know the positive alternatives to youth and gang violence where you live.
  • learn the truth about violence in your community - don't let rumors run your life.
  • remember that violent teens are a minority - don't let their actions speak for all youth.
