These reports are reviewed by the Executive Director and any potential conflict would be reported to the Finance Committee to be resolved. In the absence of resolution, the matter would be referred to the Board of Directors by the Finance Committee.”

“The Board of Directors through the Executive Committee conducts a bi-annual review of the Executive Director. CADAs Board Chair leads the review discussion. After review and approval of the Executive Committee, a summary of the review process is discussed at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting following the Executive Committee's review.

Youth EmpowermentServices (YES) is a program aimed at diverting youth from the juvenile justice system operated in partnership with the Santa Barbara County Probation Department and the University of California Santa Barbara. Teens and their parent(s) are referred to YES by a law enforcement or probation officer for offenses that qualify for a restorative justice program instead of being referred to the juvenile justice system. The program includes a wide variety of interventions to address mental health needs, substance abuse concerns, social/emotional skills, and help for families (parents, siblings). YES case managers help each participant develop a Restorative Action Plan. It can include a variety of classes; individual, group or family counseling; parent education and support groups; and community service/learning opportunities or tutoring.The plan can range from a few short classes to several months of weekly counselingsessions, depending on what the needs assessment tells us about what services willprovide the greatest benefit. YES case managers and therapists provide ongoingcoaching to each participant to help them meet their goals.Students can also be referred by their school for a full range of diversion services that can also include a Teen Court component. Teen Court is a peer review court available to youth when case managers determine that it is an appropriate option in addition to or in lieu of other diversion services. The client and their parents appear in front of a court that consists of a volunteer judge or local attorney, and a jury of teen peers who review the case and create a personalized, restorative sentence that holds the individual accountable for their actions. After this review, a sentencing agreement is developed using established guidelines. These agreements often include community service, service as a juror in future Teen Court cases, written letters of apology, written essays and creative projects, education classes and group sessions. The Teen Court agreement will also ensure that services are made available for clients with substance abuse issues, co-occurring mental health issues, as well as parent support and education for the parents of the youth referred for services.School-Based Counseling: CADA provides school-based counselors in elementaryand secondary scho”
