| Description | LA PLATA YOUTH SERVICES (LPYS) WAS FOUNDED IN 1994 TO PROVIDE A CONTINUUM OF SERVICES TO AT-RISK YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES INCLUDING COMMUNITY-BASED PREVENTION, EARLY INTERVENTION, AND CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICES. LPYS PROMOTES POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AMONG YOUTH AT RISK OF BECOMING INVOLVED IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, WE WORK TO REDUCE RECIDIVISM, SUBSTANCE USE, OUT-OF-HOME PLACEMENT, TRUANCY, AND ACADEMIC FAILURE. AT LPYS, YOUTH ARE SUPPORTED, COACHED, AND MONITORED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING COMMUNITY ACCOUNTABILITY WHILE BUILDING SKILLS TO SUPPORT HEALTHY BEHAVIORS AND SCHOOL SUCCESS. SINCE 2001, LPYS HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS THE SINGLE POINT OF ENTRY FOR ALL YOUTH CRIMINAL DIVERSION PROGRAMS IN LA PLATA COUNTY. YOUTH ARE REFERRED TO LPYS BY THE COURTS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND THE SCHOOLS IN LIEU OF HAVING CRIMINAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST THEM FOR MISDEMEANORS, PETTY OFFENSES, AND HABITUAL TRUANCY. A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT IS PUT IN PLACE ONCE AN INTAKE ASSESSMENT IS COMPLETED AND AN INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN IS DEVELOPED. CASE MANAGERS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS YOUTH ADVOCATES) PROVIDE ASSESSMENT, SUPERVISION, USEFUL PUBLIC SERVICE SUPPORT, SCHOOL AND HOME VISITS, CRISIS MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS REFERRAL AND RESOURCE NETWORKING. YOUTH ARE ASKED TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES INCLUDING LIFE-SKILL BUILDING, PARENT COACHING, COUNSELING, AND TUTORING AS PART OF THEIR CONTRACT. IN ADDITION, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE CAN BE SUGGESTED, WHICH INCLUDES FAMILY AND VICTIM-OFFENDER MEDIATION, RESTITUTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. REFERRALS TO OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES ARE MADE AS APPROPRIATE. PROGRAM SERVICES FOR EACH YOUTH USUALLY LAST FROM THREE TO SIX MONTHS. LPYS' PROGRAMS FOCUS ON THE INTERESTS, STRENGTHS, RISK FACTORS, AND INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF EACH ADOLESCENT TO INSTILL A SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND SELF-WORTH. WE BELIEVE IN RESTORING A YOUTH'S COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS THROUGH MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY SERVICE, STRUCTURED FAMILY SUPPORT, AND COLLABORATION WITH VOLUNTEERS AND LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS IN LA PLATA COUNTY. PROFESSIONAL STAFF PROVIDES SERVICES TO YOUTH WHILE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEIR FAMILIES, SCHOOL EMPLOYEES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND VICTIMS WHEN APPROPRIATE. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, LPYS SERVED 130 YOUTH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 7 TO 17 AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO PROVIDED OVER 900 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND RELATED ACTIVITIES. LPYS PROGRAM SUCCESS RATE IS DEFINED AS COMPLETION OF ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CLIENT CONTRACT. OF THE 130 NEW YOUTH SERVED THIS YEAR, 110 (OR 85%) OF THEM MET ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THEIR CONTRACTS. THIS IS NEARLY A 100% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF NEW YOUTH SERVED IN COMPARISON TO THE PRIOR YEAR, AND IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF YOUTH SERVED BY OUR AGENCY IN THE LAST 6 YEARS. THIS INCREASE IN YOUTH SERVED IS THE RESULT OF NEW TARGETED EFFORTS TO RECRUIT AND INVOLVE AREA YOUTH IN ALTERNATIVE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, LPYS FORMED NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE DURANGO MUNICIPAL AND CITY COURTS AND WITH DURANGO SCHOOL DISTRICT 9-R. LPYS NOW WORKS WITH THE DURANGO MUNICIPAL COURT TO SERVE AS THEIR PRIMARY REFERRAL SOURCE FOR YOUTH INVOLVED IN MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE NOT TRAFFIC RELATED AND PARTNERS WITH THE CITY COURT TO WORK WITH YOUTH IN EXCHANGE FOR DIFFERED PROSECUTIONS. IF YOUTH ARE SUCCESSFUL IN COMPLETING THEIR CONTRACTS AT LPYS, THEY CAN BE RELIEVED FROM FORMAL COURT PROCESSES. ALSO, LPYS WORKS CLOSELY WITH DURANGO SCHOOL DISTRICT 9-R TO INCREASE SERVICES TO STUDENTS AT RISK OF SCHOOL FAILURE. THIS HAS MEANT A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF YOUTH REFERRED WITH SCHOOL-RELATED ATTENDANCE AND BEHAVIOR ISSUES. ASSESSMENT: LPYS' PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE DRIVEN BY AND MONITORED THROUGH OUR ASSESSMENT PROCESS. EVERY LPYS CLIENT PARTICIPATES IN THE ASSESSMENT. LPYS USES THE "INSIGHT TO IMPACT 360" ASSESSMENT TOOL, CREATED BY YOUTH ZONE IN COLORADO SPRINGS, TO ASSESS RISK AND THEN GUIDE POSITIVE GROWTH IN FIVE AREAS: ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND OTHER DRUGS; OPTIMISM AND PROBLEM SOLVING; SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT; DELINQUENCY AND AGGRESSION; AND SELF- DEPRECATION. THE "INSIGHT TO IMPACT" ASSESSMENT IS A THREE PART PROCESS: INTAKE, PROGRESS, AND COMPLETION. "INTAKE" IS THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF RISK AREAS, RELATIONSHIPS, PERSONALITY, HOBBIES, ETC. THE "PROGRESS ASSESSMENT" IS CONTINUOUS ON HOW THEY PROGRESS ON THE PROGRAMS AND OBLIGATIONS AS LAID OUT IN THEIR CONTRACT. THE "COMPLETION ASSESSMENT" INDICATES THE OVERALL ACHIEVEMENT OF COMPLETING THEIR CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, AND SHOWS ANY IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DEFINED RISK AREAS. THE CONTRACT DEVELOPED BETWEEN THE YOUTH AND CASE MANAGER INCLUDES A CLIENT- SPECIFIC PLAN TO GUIDE POSITIVE GROWTH IN EACH RISK AREA. THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WE OFFER TO YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES AS PART OF THEIR CONTRACT INCLUDE: 1. ADVOCACY PROGRAM: OUR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR YOUTH WE SERVE AND COLLEGE STUDENTS AT FORT LEWIS COLLEGE. LPYS MATCHES ADVOCATES AND YOUTH BASED ON SHARED INTERESTS OR BACKGROUNDS. ADVOCATES PROVIDE SUPPORT IN SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TUTORING, RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, COMMUNITY SERVICE, EATING LUNCH TOGETHER OR EVEN JUST HANGING OUT. OUR GOAL WITH THE MENTORING PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT AND RELATIONSHIPS TO YOUTH IN NEED. THESE PRO-SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS HELP YOUTH OVERCOME NEGATIVE FORCES AND PROMOTE HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT. OFTEN YOUTH WHO GET INVOLVED IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM OR CRIME DO NOT HAVE HEALTHY FAMILY, COMMUNITY OR ADULT RELATIONSHIPS. YOUTH ARE INCREASINGLY BECOMING INVOLVED WITH DRUGS/ALCOHOL, CRIME, RISKY BEHAVIOR, AND GANGS. DATA SHOW THAT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL IF THEY HAVE AN ADVOCATE. 2. BULLYING AWARENESS GROUP: THE LPYS BULLYING AWARENESS GROUP IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOUTH IN LA PLATA COUNTY UNDERSTAND REASONS WHY BULLYING IS SUCH A PERVASIVE ISSUE AND DEVELOP THE TOOLS TO COMBAT BULLYING IN A CONSTRUCTIVE NON-VIOLENT WAY. MUCH OF THE RESEARCH ON BULLYING PREVENTION EMPHASIZES PEER SUPPORT AS AN INTEGRAL PART TO BULLYING PREVENTION. BY EQUIPPING YOUTH WITH THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO CHALLENGE BULLYING PREJUDICE AND OPPRESSION, WE CAN INCREASE THE OVERALL SAFETY OF SCHOOLS AND YOUTH ENVIRONMENTS AS A WHOLE. 3. GETTING REAL ABOUT MARIJUANA (GRAM): GRAM IS AN EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAM THAT IS PART EDUCATIONAL AND PART COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT). GRAM CONSISTS OF FIVE SEPARATE GROUP SESSIONS THAT ARE NINETY MINUTES EACH FOLLOWED BY ONE TO TWO INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (MI). THIS GROUP IS BASED ON HARM REDUCTION RATHER THAN ABSTINENCE FROM MARIJUANA USE. CONTENT COVERED INCLUDES AMENDMENT 64 AND MEDICAL MARIJUANA, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL EFFECTS, PERCEIVED USE BY TEENS COMPARED TO ACTUAL USE, CRAVINGS, PEER PRESSURE, PROBLEM SOLVING, EMOTIONAL AWARENESS AND ENHANCING SOCIAL SUPPORT. 4. PARENTING GROUPS: LA PLATA YOUTH SERVICES IS BUILDING THE CAPACITY TO ASSIST PARENTS OF AT-RISK YOUTH. WE CURRENTLY WORK WITH A PARENTING COACH AND PLAY THERAPIST TO ASSIST WITH PARENT SUPPORT. WE DIRECTLY REFER PARENTS FOR ANY CONCERNS THEY MAY HAVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN OR WITH PARENTING. THERE IS CURRENTLY A FREE PARENTING GROUP THAT MEETS ONCE A MONTH. THIS GROUP IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AMONG PARENTS ON ANY ASPECT OF PARENTING AND IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO PARENTS WORKING WITH LA PLATA YOUTH SERVICES. 5. RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (RJ): LPYS' RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (RJ) PROGRAM IS A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY BY REPAIRING HARM FROM CONFLICT SITUATIONS. LPYS FACILITATES RJ CONFERENCES AND CIRCLES WHICH WHEN SUCCESSFUL RESULT IN A RESTITUTION CONTRACT AGREED UPON BY ALL PARTIES AND, UPON COMPLETION, RESULTS IN VICTIMS SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME. RJ CAN SIGNIFICANTLY AID IN THE HEALING PROCESS, LEAD TO RESTITUTION FOR THE VICTIM, AND IMPROVE COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND COHESION. RJ MUST BE NAVIGATED PROPERLY AND WITH DEVOTED TIME TO THE CONFLICT AND INSIGHT INTO THE ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE NEEDS OF ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED (VICTIM, COMMUNITY, AND OFFENDER) ARE ADDRESSED AND DISCUSSED, THEN GOALS ARE MADE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS WITH A CORRESPONDING EFFORT TO COMMENCE RESTITUTION. 6. TRUANCY: LPYS COLLABORATES WITH DURANGO SCHOOL DISTRICT 9-R TO HELP YOUTH WITH HABITUAL TRUANCY ISSUES BY LEADING THE COUNTY-WIDE COMMUNITY MULTI-AGENCY REVIEW TEAM OR SMART TO PROVIDE WRAP-AROUND CARE TO COMPLEX NEED YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES AND ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ISSUES. 7. TUTORING: FOR YOUTH WHO HAVE INDICATED CHALLENGES AT SCHOOL OR WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, LPYS OFFERS FREE ACADEMIC TUTORING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. TUTORS ARE AVAILABLE TO WORK WITH YOU IN THE AREAS OF MATH, SCIENCE AND READING FOR YOUTH IN NEED. 8. USEFUL PUBLIC SERVICE: OFTEN, WHEN A YOUTH IS ASKED, "HOW CAN YOU MAKE THINGS RIGHT?" THE ANSWER IS SOME FORM OF USEFUL PUBLIC SERVICE. THIS LEVEL OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS A POWERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH TO GAIN LIFE SK | Description |

| ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | TO PREVENT YOUTH FROM ENTERING AND FURTHER PENETRATING THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM, WHILE HOLDING PARAMOUNT THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC. WE BUILD ON THE UNIQUE STRENGTHS OF EACH ADOLESCENT AND FOCUS ON POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. |
| EXPLANATION ON VOLUNTEERS AND TYPES OF SERVICES OR BENEFITS | FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 | OUR VOLUNTEERS PERFORM MEDIATION BETWEEN BOTH VICTIMS OF CRIME AND CHILDREN WHO HAVE COMMITTED THOSE CRIMES AS WELL AS COMMUNITY CONFERENCES TO RESOLVE COMMUNITY ISSUES. WE ALSO UTILIZE VOLUNTEERS TO CONDUCT TUTORING, GED PREPARATION, AND ONLINE EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE LPYS BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS ALSO A VOLUNTARY BOARD THAT REVIEWS THE FINANCIALS, PROGRAM POLICY, AND PROVIDES OVERSIGHT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. |
| FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION | FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | COUNTY. YOUTH ARE REFERRED TO LPYS BY THE COURTS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND THE SCHOOLS IN LIEU OF HAVING CRIMINAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST THEM FOR MISDEMEANORS, PETTY OFFENSES, AND HABITUAL TRUANCY. A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT IS PUT IN PLACE ONCE AN INTAKE ASSESSMENT IS COMPLETED AND AN INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN IS DEVELOPED. CASE MANAGERS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS YOUTH ADVOCATES) PROVIDE ASSESSMENT, SUPERVISION, USEFUL PUBLIC SERVICE SUPPORT, SCHOOL AND HOME VISITS, CRISIS MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS REFERRAL AND RESOURCE NETWORKING. YOUTH ARE ASKED TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES INCLUDING LIFE-SKILL BUILDING, PARENT COACHING, COUNSELING, AND TUTORING AS PART OF THEIR CONTRACT. IN ADDITION, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE CAN BE SUGGESTED, WHICH INCLUDES FAMILY AND VICTIM-OFFENDER MEDIATION, RESTITUTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. REFERRALS TO OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES ARE MADE AS APPROPRIATE. PROGRAM SERVICES FOR EACH YOUTH USUALLY LAST FROM THREE TO SIX MONTHS. LPYS' PROGRAMS FOCUS ON THE INTERESTS, STRENGTHS, RISK FACTORS, AND INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF EACH ADOLESCENT TO INSTILL A SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND SELF-WORTH. WE BELIEVE IN RESTORING A YOUTH'S COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS THROUGH MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY SERVICE, STRUCTURED FAMILY SUPPORT, AND COLLABORATION WITH VOLUNTEERS AND LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS IN LA PLATA COUNTY. PROFESSIONAL STAFF PROVIDES SERVICES TO YOUTH WHILE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEIR FAMILIES, SCHOOL EMPLOYEES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND VICTIMS WHEN APPROPRIATE. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, LPYS SERVED 130 YOUTH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 7 TO 17 AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO PROVIDED OVER 900 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND RELATED ACTIVITIES. LPYS PROGRAM SUCCESS RATE IS DEFINED AS COMPLETION OF ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CLIENT CONTRACT. OF THE 130 NEW YOUTH SERVED THIS YEAR, 110 (OR 85%) OF THEM MET ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THEIR CONTRACTS. THIS IS NEARLY A 100% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF NEW YOUTH SERVED IN COMPARISON TO THE PRIOR YEAR, AND IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF YOUTH SERVED BY OUR AGENCY IN THE LAST 6 YEARS. THIS INCREASE IN YOUTH SERVED IS THE RESULT OF NEW TARGETED EFFORTS TO RECRUIT AND INVOLVE AREA YOUTH IN ALTERNATIVE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, LPYS FORMED NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE DURANGO MUNICIPAL AND CITY COURTS AND WITH DURANGO SCHOOL DISTRICT 9-R. LPYS NOW WORKS WITH THE DURANGO MUNICIPAL COURT TO SERVE AS THEIR PRIMARY REFERRAL SOURCE FOR YOUTH INVOLVED IN MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE NOT TRAFFIC RELATED AND PARTNERS WITH THE CITY COURT TO WORK WITH YOUTH IN EXCHANGE FOR DIFFERED PROSECUTIONS. IF YOUTH ARE SUCCESSFUL IN COMPLETING THEIR CONTRACTS AT LPYS, THEY CAN BE RELIEVED FROM FORMAL COURT PROCESSES. ALSO, LPYS WORKS CLOSELY WITH DURANGO SCHOOL DISTRICT 9-R TO INCREASE SERVICES TO STUDENTS AT RISK OF SCHOOL FAILURE. THIS HAS MEANT A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF YOUTH REFERRED WITH SCHOOL-RELATED ATTENDANCE AND BEHAVIOR ISSUES. ASSESSMENT: LPYS' PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE DRIVEN BY AND MONITORED THROUGH OUR ASSESSMENT PROCESS. EVERY LPYS CLIENT PARTICIPATES IN THE ASSESSMENT. LPYS USES THE "INSIGHT TO IMPACT 360" ASSESSMENT TOOL, CREATED BY YOUTH ZONE IN COLORADO SPRINGS, TO ASSESS RISK AND THEN GUIDE POSITIVE GROWTH IN FIVE AREAS: ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND OTHER DRUGS; OPTIMISM AND PROBLEM SOLVING; SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT; DELINQUENCY AND AGGRESSION; AND SELF- DEPRECATION. THE "INSIGHT TO IMPACT" ASSESSMENT IS A THREE PART PROCESS: INTAKE, PROGRESS, AND COMPLETION. "INTAKE" IS THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF RISK AREAS, RELATIONSHIPS, PERSONALITY, HOBBIES, ETC. THE "PROGRESS ASSESSMENT" IS CONTINUOUS ON HOW THEY PROGRESS ON THE PROGRAMS AND OBLIGATIONS AS LAID OUT IN THEIR CONTRACT. THE "COMPLETION ASSESSMENT" INDICATES THE OVERALL ACHIEVEMENT OF COMPLETING THEIR CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, AND SHOWS ANY IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DEFINED RISK AREAS. THE CONTRACT DEVELOPED BETWEEN THE YOUTH AND CASE MANAGER INCLUDES A CLIENT- SPECIFIC PLAN TO GUIDE POSITIVE GROWTH IN EACH RISK AREA. THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WE OFFER TO YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES AS PART OF THEIR CONTRACT INCLUDE: 1. ADVOCACY PROGRAM: OUR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR YOUTH WE SERVE AND COLLEGE STUDENTS AT FORT LEWIS COLLEGE. LPYS MATCHES ADVOCATES AND YOUTH BASED ON SHARED INTERESTS OR BACKGROUNDS. ADVOCATES PROVIDE SUPPORT IN SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TUTORING, RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, COMMUNITY SERVICE, EATING LUNCH TOGETHER OR EVEN JUST HANGING OUT. OUR GOAL WITH THE MENTORING PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT AND RELATIONSHIPS TO YOUTH IN NEED. THESE PRO-SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS HELP YOUTH OVERCOME NEGATIVE FORCES AND PROMOTE HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT. OFTEN YOUTH WHO GET INVOLVED IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM OR CRIME DO NOT HAVE HEALTHY FAMILY, COMMUNITY OR ADULT RELATIONSHIPS. YOUTH ARE INCREASINGLY BECOMING INVOLVED WITH DRUGS/ALCOHOL, CRIME, RISKY BEHAVIOR, AND GANGS. DATA SHOW THAT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL IF THEY HAVE AN ADVOCATE. 2. BULLYING AWARENESS GROUP: THE LPYS BULLYING AWARENESS GROUP IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOUTH IN LA PLATA COUNTY UNDERSTAND REASONS WHY BULLYING IS SUCH A PERVASIVE ISSUE AND DEVELOP THE TOOLS TO COMBAT BULLYING IN A CONSTRUCTIVE NON-VIOLENT WAY. MUCH OF THE RESEARCH ON BULLYING PREVENTION EMPHASIZES PEER SUPPORT AS AN INTEGRAL PART TO BULLYING PREVENTION. BY EQUIPPING YOUTH WITH THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO CHALLENGE BULLYING PREJUDICE AND OPPRESSION, WE CAN INCREASE THE OVERALL SAFETY OF SCHOOLS AND YOUTH ENVIRONMENTS AS A WHOLE. 3. GETTING REAL ABOUT MARIJUANA (GRAM): GRAM IS AN EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAM THAT IS PART EDUCATIONAL AND PART COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT). GRAM CONSISTS OF FIVE SEPARATE GROUP SESSIONS THAT ARE NINETY MINUTES EACH FOLLOWED BY ONE TO TWO INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (MI). THIS GROUP IS BASED ON HARM REDUCTION RATHER THAN ABSTINENCE FROM MARIJUANA USE. CONTENT COVERED INCLUDES AMENDMENT 64 AND MEDICAL MARIJUANA, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL EFFECTS, PERCEIVED USE BY TEENS COMPARED TO ACTUAL USE, CRAVINGS, PEER PRESSURE, PROBLEM SOLVING, EMOTIONAL AWARENESS AND ENHANCING SOCIAL SUPPORT. 4. PARENTING GROUPS: LA PLATA YOUTH SERVICES IS BUILDING THE CAPACITY TO ASSIST PARENTS OF AT-RISK YOUTH. WE CURRENTLY WORK WITH A PARENTING COACH AND PLAY THERAPIST TO ASSIST WITH PARENT SUPPORT. WE DIRECTLY REFER PARENTS FOR ANY CONCERNS THEY MAY HAVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN OR WITH PARENTING. THERE IS CURRENTLY A FREE PARENTING GROUP THAT MEETS ONCE A MONTH. THIS GROUP IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AMONG PARENTS ON ANY ASPECT OF PARENTING AND IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO PARENTS WORKING WITH LA PLATA YOUTH SERVICES. 5. RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (RJ): LPYS' RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (RJ) PROGRAM IS A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY BY REPAIRING HARM FROM CONFLICT SITUATIONS. LPYS FACILITATES RJ CONFERENCES AND CIRCLES WHICH WHEN SUCCESSFUL RESULT IN A RESTITUTION CONTRACT AGREED UPON BY ALL PARTIES AND, UPON COMPLETION, RESULTS IN VICTIMS SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME. RJ CAN SIGNIFICANTLY AID IN THE HEALING PROCESS, LEAD TO RESTITUTION FOR THE VICTIM, AND IMPROVE COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND COHESION. RJ MUST BE NAVIGATED PROPERLY AND WITH DEVOTED TIME TO THE CONFLICT AND INSIGHT INTO THE ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE NEEDS OF ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED (VICTIM, COMMUNITY, AND OFFENDER) ARE ADDRESSED AND DISCUSSED, THEN GOALS ARE MADE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS WITH A CORRESPONDING EFFORT TO COMMENCE RESTITUTION. 6. TRUANCY: LPYS COLLABORATES WITH DURANGO SCHOOL DISTRICT 9-R TO HELP YOUTH WITH HABITUAL TRUANCY ISSUES BY LEADING THE COUNTY-WIDE COMMUNITY MULTI-AGENCY REVIEW TEAM OR SMART TO PROVIDE WRAP-AROUND CARE TO COMPLEX NEED YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES AND ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ISSUES. 7. TUTORING: FOR YOUTH WHO HAVE INDICATED CHALLENGES AT SCHOOL OR WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, LPYS OFFERS FREE ACADEMIC TUTORING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. TUTORS ARE AVAILABLE TO WORK WITH YOU IN THE AREAS OF MATH, SCIENCE AND READING FOR YOUTH IN NEED. 8. USEFUL PUBLIC SERVICE: OFTEN, WHEN A YOUTH IS ASKED, "HOW CAN YOU MAKE THINGS RIGHT?" THE ANSWER IS SOME FORM OF USEFUL PUBLIC SERVICE. THIS LEVEL OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS A POWERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH TO GAIN LIFE SKILLS AND FEEL EMPOWERED TO IMPROVE THEMSELVES AND THEIR SURROUNDINGS. IN PLACEMENT, WE STRIVE TO KNOW WHAT EACH YOUTH LIKES TO DO, WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, AND HOW THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO BOTH THE YOUTH AND THE SERVICE SITE. EXAMPLES OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY YOUTH INCLUDE DOING ARTS AND CRAFTS WITH ELDERS AT A LOCAL NURSING HOME, PLAYING WITH PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN IN HEAD START, HELPING AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY, CARING FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN IN RESPITE CARE, COOKING MEALS FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE, AND WORKING WITH HORSES IN A THERAPEUTIC PROGRAM. |
