Tracker Services - Content Section 1 (ID:171)

Tracker Services

Families F.I.R.S.T. will provide Tracker services as follow-up on a youth's daily activities.  This follow-up will occur primarily outside of the family home to ensure compliance with the rules of behavior outlined by their parent/caregiver or by their Conditions of Liberty or case plan.  This service will be available to youth who are adjudicated as delinquents/status offenders.  Although the services will occur mainly outside of the family home, Families F.I.R.S.T. staff will uphold the Wraparound Model by maintaining a family-centered; strengths based approach while providing services to the youth in their community.  Staff identified to provide services within this program will also be familiar to the family as their Family Partner or Assistant.      

 

The goal of the Tracker program will be to increase a youth's protective factors through effective interventions.  The program, in addition to mere follow-up with their school regarding academic performance, will attempt to assist youth with developing:

 

·       Positive social orientation

·       Good relations with their parents

·       Positive attitude and commitment towards school

·       Increased performance in academic achievement

·       Friendships and activities with non-delinquent friends

   

Families F.I.R.S.T Tracker Program will include coordination and oversight of a youth?s educational and rehabilitative services, facilitation of community service and restitution completion, drug-testing, in-home support and supervision of the offender, with or without electronic monitoring.

 

For youth involved in the Tracker Program, assessments at intake will be completed to determine the youth's needs to ensure that they receive the appropriate services.  These same assessments will be administered at discharge to measure a youth's increase in protective factors (improved academic performance, problem-solving skills, etc).

Family F.I.R.S.T.'s staff will serve as a positive role model and assist youth in making positive life choices.  Staff will meet with clients at school and home, and will assist clients in meeting restitution and community service goals. As needed and part of the Tracker Program, staff will assist with transporting youth to and/or from counseling sessions, work detail, and community service destinations.

For those youth requiring a higher level of supervision or who have presented with substance abuse issues, staff will perform drug screens and monitor youth on electronic monitoring devices.  Trackers assigned to the program will assure that the youth is meeting their curfew, that they are attending school on a regular basis and will be responsible for contacts with the youth?s school and employer. 

A youth's compliance will be reviewed every two weeks to discuss the appropriateness of their current level and the ability to transition down to the next level (or to a higher level if needed).
