Program Overview
What We Do At CommuniCare...
CommuniCare is unique in that it does many things in a very cost effective manner. We:
- Coordinate
the human resources and other administrative overhead of the Juvenile
Assessment Center, leaving Program Direction and Management to the
actual Program Director and Staff
- Administer the
Youth Leadership Development program (an asset-based Youth Leadership
Development initiative) and "T-MAC" (Teens Making a Change)
- Coordinate
all Juvenile Crime Prevention Programs via contract with the County of
Cumberland for improved program development, collaboration,
accountability and the prevention of juvenile delinquency
- Provide
court-focused adolescent substance abuse treatment services via the
M.A.J.O.R.S. program (Managing Access to Juvenile Offenders, Resources
and Substances -- a NC Division of MH/DD/SAS and NC DJJDP collaborating
treatment program)
- Provide program evaluation, program
development and quality improvement services, which includes the
provision of these services with many local nonprofits and churches
- Affiliate
with other community capacity-building efforts through partnerships
with such agencies/groups as the United Way, Fayetteville-Cumberland
County Chamber of Commerce, Partnership for Children, Cumberland County
Schools, faith-based organizations, etc.
- Volunteer and continue to promote the Neighborhood Guardian Program, a collaborative child abuse prevention initiative
- Support
the C.A.R.E.S. substance abuse prevention coalition, providing support
for the Coalition for Awareness, Resources, and Education of Substances
-- to combat substance abuse in Cumberland County
- Provide
Selective and Indicated substance abuse prevention services throughout
the county under contract from the mental health center
- Manage
the Intensive Juvenile Justice Services Network (a community commitment
program) in partnership with the North Carolina Dept. of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Mental Health, CC Schools, etc.
- Manage
the Cumberland Gang Prevention Partnership - an interagency partnership
designed to reduce youth violence and gang involvement throughout
Cumberland County
We do all of this using only a small
administrative staff; this allows much needed program resources to go
directly into services, and not to administrative costs. The
corporation has skillful employees that know how to develop,
coordinate, evaluate and help improve human services programs.
Organizational assessments, quality assurance and quality improvement
are key employee skills.
