6 Purchase of Services for Juvenile Offenders Fulton County Juvenile Court Application for Funds for Fiscal Year 2009 A. Problem Statement Approximately 9,000 delinquency and status cases are filed in the Fulton County Juvenile Court (FCJC) annually. The majority of these cases involve children who possess a multitude of problems that cannot be quickly treated. A significant percentage of these cases involve youth with substances abuse, undiagnosed mental illnesses, and/or unmet educational deficits. Nationally up to 80% of juveniles involved in the juvenile justice system have learning disabilities, conduct disorders, or mental illnesses. Fulton County Juvenile Court statistical reporting reflects a similar correlation in its delinquency population. As a result of these trends, it is critical that the Juvenile Court continue its assessment and evaluation approach for addressing the treatment needs, B. Project Goals/Objectives The Fulton County Juvenile Court proposes to expand the capacity to assess and diagnose youth that are symptomatic of behavioral or mental health issues. Additionally, funds would provide for youth with educational needs including tutorial services and GED testing fees. Project Goals: 1. The Court currently performs an average of 20assessments a month. The above referenced grant would provide 12 additional assessments annually. 2. The grant will provide educational support for 16 youth who have been identified as having an educational deficit.
