Make sure your voicemail is set-up and your mailbox has space for new messages
If there is a time in the day when you are more likely to be available, share that with your dependency team or leave that information on your voicemail.
If you do not have reliable access to phone or email, enlist someone you see regularly and trust to communicate messages to you to. Share their contact information with your dependency team
The goal of Juvenile Probation is to keep the community safe and support your child. You know your child best:
Communicate your child’s strengths to their PO. Juvenile Probation can use those strengths to provide support for your child and grow their confidence in the areas where they excel.
Communicate any difficulties your child and/ or your family is experiencing. Your child’s PO can best support your child when they know what struggles your child is trying to navigate.
Talk to your child’s PO about your child’s interests and goals.
Talk to your child’s PO about your goals and dreams for your child.
Your child’s PO will meet with your child based on their terms of probation and risk/needs assessment.
Develop and schedule to meet with your child’s PO regularly as well.
