Juvenile Partnership

Victim Advocates in the Juvenile Partnership provide case management to families and youth referred by detectives working in the St. Louis Metropolitan Juvenile Division.  The Juvenile Advocate conducts outreach to families and youth who are referred  from detectives in the SLMPD Juvenile Division. 

 

The Juvenile Partnership began in 2017 and the goal of the program is to intervene with at-risk youth
and their families before the youth come into contact with the juvenile justice system. Advocates provide information, support, and resources to the family unit and youth in order to stabilize crisis and reduce the likelihood of youth being victims of violence and engaging in delinquent activities.
