Almost two years ago, I proposed the convening of a Yolo County Children's Summit to focus attention on children's needs in this County. Frankly, it is my hope that the concept of a Children's Summit can be institutionalized in Yolo County, and can be scheduled once a year, every year. The list of needs and challenges we face regarding children's issues - health, drugs and alcohol, education, crime, disabilities, etc. The Children's Summit will explore the needs of youth currently in or at highest risk of becoming involved in the juvenile justice system. The purpose of the summit is to identify resources as well as gaps and to prioritize unmet needs with the goal of improving services and service coordination.
