The Boone County Juvenile Justice System in collaboration with Youth Opportunity Center Inc. have announced the opening of the D.E.B. Youth Day Reporting Center at 223 West Washington Street in Lebanon, Indiana. An open house will take place on Friday, January 15, 2016 from 12 Noon-2 PM.

The Youth Day Reporting Center will provide the Boone Co.

Services provided at the Youth Day Reporting Center include:

  • Education planning/assistance
  • Life skills training (independent living skills, job-readiness skills, vocational training, etc.)
  • Recreational activities
  • Community activities and events
  • Community service projects
  • Opportunities for family involvement
  • Cognitive behavioral instruction – treatment groups focusing on thinking errors, anger management, self-esteem, healthy relationships, conflict resolution, substance abuse, etc.
  • Parenting class/parent support group
  • Evaluation of progress using pre- and post- tests
