COURT FAMILY SERVICE CASE MANAGERS - TRIAD Prevention
Program case managers are located in participating Justice of the
Peace Courts. The case managers perform intensive case management
and crisis intervention services for youth and families on the
truancy and class c ticket dockets of these Courts. The advantage
of this TRIAD Prevention Program function is the collaboration
among public agencies; community and faith based organizations,
school districts and the judicial system.

TRUANCY

highlighting issues of parental rights and responsibilities,
communication skills, anger management, self esteem and substance
abuse prevention. The Truancy Learning Camp is partially funded by

COMMUNITY YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
(CYD)TRIAD
serves as the fiscal agent for the Community Youth Development
Program. Services are sub-contracted to address the conditions
that lead to juvenile crime, e.g. after school programs,
mentoring, self-esteem and leadership courses, sports, counseling
and support groups. The Programs are open to all youth who live or
attend school in zip codes 77081 (Gulfton) or 77506 (Pasadena).
These communities were chosen because of the need for increased
efforts to prevent juvenile delinquency. Each community has a
steering committee, where at least 51% of the members are
community residents, and a youth advisory committee. The Texas
Department of Family and Protective Services funds the
Program. |
