Re: Center for Studies on Youth Policy, U Penn, of Social W woops, I hit the wrong key


This place has a project called


Assessment of Specialized Residential Programs and Services


I emailed the project director to see if they have any interest in the Trebach Conference in July.  I'll let you know what I hear.

Re: Center for Studies on Youth Policy, U Penn, of Social W Good work, Dave.


I tried looking around Florida for anyone with public policy influence who might be intd in the conference, but it just gets too damned depressing. Every page from every governement or nongovernment site seems to be nothing but TOUGHLOVE! propaganda. It's like Edge of Night.

If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them whether they need it or not.

Fl Drug Policy Advisors Here they are.  You wanted to know of anyone with public policy influence in Florida.  In all honesty since the invasion of the Tallahassee Taliban 2 years ago there has been one and only one policy maker.    However, here is a list of the official advisors.  Do you D.A.R.E. invite them to the conference?

FYI - The governor wants to define a unified system of care. (Not sure what that means yet) There are two pilot strategies for children's substance abuse (Currently being developed in Orlando, Palm Beach county.)

Re: Center for Studies on Youth Policy, U Penn, of Social W Thanks for posting that. Might be a dupe, but I just stuffed it into the archive.


Lets see who we know here...


"Shirley D. Coletti, 64, of Clearwater, president and founder of Operation PAR, Inc." (Betty Sembler sits on the board of PAR)


Who else do we know from that list. Wes, who's the judge from Tampa? Judge Frank D. Alvarez. I know I've read the name, but I can't seem to connect it with anything.

If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.
