DART'S MANDATE:
To Coordinate the inter-agency case planning for at-risk youth and utilize community and family resources to support these youth.
DART FOR Youth - Dauphin
The DART Steering Committee was developed in January 2006.
- The Committee was established to coordinate an approach for information sharing between agencies working with the high-risk youth population.
- This coordinated effort provides early identification of youth with multiple issues and complex needs, and plans for interagency intervention and timely implementation of appropriate consequences for unacceptable and illegal activity.
The Coordinator assists the parent/guardian to create a "triage list" of places to check when their child has not returned home and service providers on the youth's team can use their knowledge to provide needed information to police should the youth be reported missing.
Parents are encouraged to give their child rides, to ask questions about who they are going to be with and to get to know their friends' parents.
This information is also used to create a safety plan with the youth and parents which can include a variety of ways to connect with each other. The list will also provide needed information for the police if they need to become involved, making the chances of locating the youth much higher and more expedient, for the DART Program this has meant a return of 100% of the clients reported missing.
