Parent Empowerment Initiative
Restorative Justice Model for At-Risk Youth

About the Initiative
The Davidson County Juvenile Court has implemented a new program with a focus restorative justice for at-risk youth. At the forefront of this matter is public safety. It cannot be resolved by the lone endeavors of the juvenile court, but rather the collective effort of all community stakeholders. There is a unique opportunity for parent, business, faith base and non-profit collaboration in support of the Davidson County Juvenile Court’s aims.
Kick Off
During the weekend of December 11-13, 2015, a conference for single parents rearing at–risk males was convened. The three day event took place at the Mount Sinai Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Invited stakeholders met with juvenile court judge Sheila Callaway and heard about her vision for the courts. During the conference the programmatic structure for the Parent Empowerment Initiative was rolled out. The weekend culminated with a unity fellowship service, forging the promise of unified church support for focused parental guidance and family support.
Moving Forward
Beginning January, 2016, Building Families and Communities (BFC) Missions Incorporated will commence with providing training to approximately two hundred and fifty parents of children, currently or previously involved in juvenile court cases. In addition to launching a live educational radio broadcast, support services will include, but not be limited to family based counseling, general case management, referral services and advocacy.
