And is more rehabilitative versus being as punitive as it is. Because we have a juvenile probation officer on site, i work with them intimately. I know the Decision Making process is not always the best. Our young people that are coming in are primarily africanamerican youth, and we work closely with them as well as the parents to make sure they get all their needs met. We work with most if not all communitybased organizations as closely in San Francisco to make sure the young kids are getting the services they need. I have been doing this for 20 years. I was so passionate and committed to doing it that i went back to school. So that i could find out more about what is impacting our young people. So for those kids that come to clark, 95 are impacted by at least one episode of trauma. Of that 95 , 85 are impacted by two or more episodes of trauma. Our young people need all of the adults in this city to reform, to reimagine, to do something very different for our young people. Your young
Bachelors. He has been at Juvenile Hall for 15 years trying to wake youth up. Im going to talk about sam if thats ok. I currently, today, have youth on my caseload from sunny dale and the towers. And from the point and from oak dale and double rock and eddy rock, mack block, the chop, and all who hate each other. Neighborhoods who may hate each other but from my personal experience with these, every last one of them knows and respects and trusts sam. And from my conversations with sam, he knows and loves everyone of them. Imagine when a guy like this could do without being confined through the chains of our archaic system so thats all im going to say. Thank you. Constance walker, seat 11.

Importantly than all of the history and the history and the Systemic Involvement are two things. One, my continued and passionate dedication to the youth. Wherever we are on process, i will still carry a case load if you need to use clinical terms of 12, 14 youth. It is my philosophy no one should ever be out of direct contact with the youth in any of these processes. It is also the case that my belief in this system is largely cooperation, coalition building, where possible, opposition where necessary. And in my conversations with youth and with other service provider, again, many of whom i have tremendous respect for, and with the leadership at Juvenile Hall, that philosophy has been in there and will continue to travel through that. And best of luck on this decision. Well be behind whoever you place. Thank you. Supervisor walton thank you, ron. And now we have denice coleman, seats 1 and 2. Hello.

I believe due to all the positions ive held during that time, i would be a asset to this community because i can speak not many topics regarding the upcoming changes and ive been able to work with three generations of families, good and bad. Thats a good thing and a bad thing. We know the cycle is generational. I do have a wide perspective and understanding the community as a whole. Ive worked with my all my life. From the time i was 12 years o i have a12yearsold. Ive worked with thre prek to. I just think i have a good understanding of behavioral science of kids through 18.

I do believe in the closure . Yes, i do. I believe tha that and i believe locking kids is not th
Many more. Im hoping in this process the diversion component doesnt get lost, in that the focus is on finding another Juvenile Hall or something that is similar to that that is more restorative and is more rehabilitative versus being as punitive as it is.
