Supporting Families at Risk Profiles

Author: Julie N. Zimmerman

Planning Unit: Community & Leadership Development

Major Program: Staff Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Extension can and does play multiple roles in supporting families at risk across the state.  In Breckinridge, Grayson, and Meade Counties, the newly elected Judge to the 46th Judicial Court District met with FCS agents to develop a partnership to assist families that come through his courtroom.  To support this effort, I developed the Supporting Families at Risk county profiles.  The resulting profiles contained both current data and longitudinal data on 54 variables covering multiple topic areas at the county level including grandparents responsible for grandchildren, out-of-home care, neglect/abuse, substance abuse and arrests, domestic violence, and violent crime.  Since these were data that would be useful beyond the initiating counties, profiles were created for all 120 counties with a state profile for comparison.   Overall, the final profiles contained over 12,000 numbers covering issues affecting families at risk across the state.
