High risk youth behaviors and the dangers of social media are among the topics to be highlighted at Thursday’s Community Engagement Night hosted by Carson City Juvenile Services.
Parents, students and the community members are invited to the monthly meeting, happening July 30 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Juvenile Services facility, 740 South Saliman Road.
During the event, Juvenile Services Outreach Specialist, Gabbie Sanfilippo and Mayela Quintanilla will speak about high-risk youth behaviors and identify the red flags. The information is for caregivers to better understand the impact youths behaviors can have on the child themselves, the family and community.
