Renewal of Subcontract for grant counselor
Department:Juvenile Court
Caption:Renewal of Subcontract for "The Counseling Group", Mrs.
Caffee Wright.
Background:Mrs. Caffee Wright is a masters level licensed professional
counselor,LPC, who is the only certified juvenile sex
offender counselor in the area. She has provided group sex
offender counseling for this court since 1999. She and her
staff have also provided in-home crisis counseling services to
families referred to the court as unruly and runaway in the
home. We continue to see an increase in both referrals for
juvenile sex offenders and unruly youth in our court. Both of
these issues have been effectively impacted by the services of
The Counseling Group.
Analysis:Due to the continued amount of referrals made to this court,
it is essential we renew this important service contract
provided by The Counseling Group for the youth of
Augusta/Richmond County.
Financial Impact:Most, if not all, of the funding will be provided by our
Purchase of Services grant of $5000. We have some
additional funding approved under Contract Labor in our
budget which may also be used. No additional funding is
being requested at this time
Alternatives:The alternative would be to have these juvenile sex offenders
and unruly children supervised in the community with out the
professional counseling services The Counseling Group
would be able to provide. All of the sex offenders have been
ordered to participate in a program to help them address
these important issues in their lives. Most of the unruly youth
are not getting the in-home family counseling which has
proved to impact them positively in the past.
Recommendation:I recommend the committee recommend approval of the sub-
contract to The Counseling Group so these important
services may continue.

Purchase of Services fund - 101022113/5239110 - $5000
