WHAT IS THE SBCJAC?
The Scotts Bluff County Juvenile Assessment Center (SBCJAC ) strives to keep youth at home and out of juvenile justice and human services systems by connecting families with supportive services to promote safe, healthy and happy kids.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
GETTING STARTED
We strive to provide more effective, coordinated interventions for juveniles ages 11-18. These are youth that are at risk for further involvement in the juvenile justice system.
It has been identified that juvenile services in the area are fragmented and lacking. By having a single point of entry for juveniles and their families, the SBCJAC will enable the opportunity for assessments, referrals for services and crisis intervention all in hopes of preventing further at-risk behavior and continued involvement in the juvenile justice system.
