“At-Risk’ Youth
Families with concerns about a youth that may be “at
risk” for delinquency may access assessment and referral services
through the JAC. Many services are provided on-site by one of the
JAC's community
partners including individual counseling, group counseling,
parenting groups, anger management classes, and family counseling.

Arrested Youth
When a youth is arrested in Lee County, the arresting
officer brings the youth to the JAC. While at the JAC, assessment
professionals interview the youth to determine his/her risk for reoffending and to assess
his/her need for services. The JAC assists
in linking each youth and family to community resources to address the
youth and family’s specific needs. For information about picking
up an arrested youth, click on
Parent Information.
Arrested youth in Charlotte, Hendry, and Glades Counties who are
eligible for secure detention are also booked at the JAC before being
transported to the Southwest Florida Regional Detention Center.
