“We must see youth as problem solvers – not as problems to be solved.” – Reaching Teens
REACHING TEENS
Many members are implementing ways to work more effectively with teens as a result of this toolkit. Paving the Way, a federally funded grant program, is providing Reaching Teens to members of Palo Pinto Community Connection, and we are exploring ways to combine efforts throughout the community. As a result, teens will encounter the same language and approach in all the systems they encounter, ranging from schools to juvenile justice to child welfare to mental health providers.
"You must experience poverty to truly understand poverty."
CULTURAL COMPETENCE
