Youth Services

 

 

North County Lifeline, in collaboration with area middle schools, government, and other funding sources, operates a variety of after school and youth development programs in North San Diego County.  The programs offer a combination of supervision, structure, and fun activities which together reduce at-risk behaviors, encourage and support school success, and educate youth regarding healthy lifestyles.  Lifeline is committed to helping youth develop and unlock their potentials to be the best they can be.

 

 

COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT TEAM (C.A.T.)

 

What is CAT?  The Community Assessment Team is part of a multi-agency program designed to assist families who have youth who are "at-risk" of becoming involved in the juvenile justice system.

 

The CAT team is a group of professional case manager, probation officers, and support personnel who are trained in linking clients to appropriate services in the North San Diego County area.

 

CAT provides a strengths-based assessment, prevention-oriented services, and referral services to youth and their families.
