EBAC Probation Mental Health Services

EBAC Probation Mental Health Services

East Bay Agency for Children's Juvenile Probation Services Program is provided through a partnership with the Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services, and the Alameda County Probation Department. The two components of EBAC's program are Juvenile Probation Services and the School to Success Program. The School to Success Program was born as a result of the public concern in Oakland regarding the increase in violence among youth and the subsequent Violence Prevention and Public Safety Act (Measure Y) that was passed by the citizens of Oakland to reduce violent crime and provide prevention services to youth. This program includes a partnership between the above named agencies, Oakland Police Department the City of Oakland and the Oakland Unified School District.

The purpose of this program is to assist youth to successfully complete juvenile probation or prevent them from being involved in the juvenile justice system altogether. In addition, we assist the youth to attend school consistently and to identify and obtain short and long term life goals. Ultimately, our goal is to assist the youth in improving their actions and in becoming positive role models for themselves and their community.
