• The High Utilizers Program will continue to provide extensive case management services to the communities listed above and use that case management to divert these individuals from the criminal justice system.

• The expected outcomes of this program, associated with extensive case management with the high utilizers, will remain the same, and is considered a stop gap measure while a sustainable funding source is sought.

Joint resolution authorizing an emergency appropriation in the amount of $17,433 for a part-time therapist at the Hulse Juvenile Detention Center, with offsetting revenue from the Regional Office of Education (ROE).

• The increased incidence of emotional and behavior disordered juveniles in the Hulse Detention Center has made educating the juvenile residents more challenging, particularly as the age of juvenile detention has increased to age eighteen.

• A part-time therapist would help to address this situation by working with the Court’s Psychological Services, teachers, teacher’s assistants, and juvenile counselors in addressing the emotional and behavioral issues of the juveniles as they adjust to the secure educational setting.

• The therapist would address mental health and substance abuse, family situations, trauma, and other factors impacting the juvenile residents including crisis intervention.

• Funding for the part-time therapist position has been secured from state revenue managed by the ROE.

• The State of Illinois Orphan Act provide revenue for education services and currently funds 11 positions at the detention center.

• This resolution authorizes an emergency appropriation in the amount of $17,433 for the remainder of fiscal year 2018 with offsetting revenue from the ROE and authorizes an increase in head count in the Hulse Detention Center by one half a full-time equivalent (FTE).
