CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
San Benito County's allotment for FY2018-19 of the Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) is $117,000. These grant funds provide local alternatives to state commitment. The Juvenile Justice Development Plan consists of providing an array of reentry and aftercare services for our youth that have been temporarily removed or at-risk of removal from their homes.
The services provided will be Principle Based Cognitive Behavioral Programming (COG), such as Thinking for a Change (T4C), or such curriculum as approved by the Probation Department, to improve and enhance ability of the participants to enhance communication; to resolve conflicts; handle stress; and make better decisions. The training will provide practical applications in the ability to respond calmly to others, to work together and to handle pressure and crisis situations.
The Probation Department is requesting authorization to enter into an agreement with King & Associates to provide Principle Based COG services to minors and their parents from YOBG funds.
