The Juvenile Advocacy Group (JAG) has continued to work, for the past ten years, to bring together mental health providers, police, juvenile courts, schools, churches, medical providers and hospitals to address youth mental health and substance abuse in Greater Milford. This year we have continued to regionalize our efforts even further with the partnership of the S.A.F.E coalition and reaching out further to over eleven towns. JAG believes in making connections, forming relationships which in turn has allowed us to spread our efforts throughout Worcester and Norfolk Counties.
The theme this year is “The Power of Connections”. As stated by Brene Brown, PHD, LMSW, “Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued – when they can give and receive without judgement.” This year we will be joined by The Walhberg Foundation (yes one of them will be there) for a viewing of their documentary “If Only” addressing all aspects of the epidemic our youth and families are facing today. It is the power of our voices, and with the connections formed in the room, together we have the ability to be part of a larger solution for those in our lives struggling both personally and professionally.
