Crisis Resolution Center

The Crisis Resolution Center (CRC) provides services to pre-delinquent youth and their families through collaborative, integrated, multidisciplinary approach, and a contract with a private group home provider to provide countywide services.

The intent is to provide services to youth who are runaways, truant, or beyond control and at-risk of committing a law violation to prevent the escalation of behavior and decrease the likelihood of entrance into the Juvenile Justice System. The CRC provides short-term shelter care, crisis intervention counseling and follow-up outreach services to assure successful outcomes.
