FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
Costa
DATE: October 18 , 1988 County
SUBJECT: NEED FOR ASSOCIATE CHAPLAIN POSITION AT JUVENILE HALL
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Direct the County Administrator to send
a letter in behalf of the Board of Supervisors to the Council of
Churches urging continued funding of the position of Associate
Chaplain at Juvenile Hall.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During a recent visit to the
Juvenile Hall facility, I had the opportunity to talk to some of the
young people during lunch. A few of them had spent over ten weeks in
Juvenile Hall. They expressed a great need for having someone to talk
to about their problems. Some of the teens who had previously been
through Juvenile Hall felt trapped with the same ongoing problems.
The need for counseling services for these troubled young people is
very evident.
The Associate Chaplain has provided some valuable assistance
to the Juvenile Hall Chaplain in counseling these young people.
