Life is about choices and teaching young people not to make long-term decisions on temporary circumstances. My grandmother Nonie B. Corbin taught us that we all have a “little red wagon” you can make full rocks or you can make it full of feathers. The choice is yours. Never get mad at another man for putting feathers in their wagon when you decided to put rocks in your wagon. Whatever decision you make it’s your “little red wagon”. Just know Lori you got to pull it. So don’t get mad at the man at the top of the hill because he decided to put feathers in his wagon when you chose to put rocks in yours and you find yourself at the bottom of the hill. Before you make a choice rooted in haste let your decisions be governed by the filter of disciplining your appetites.
Our diversionary program is designed to assist juvenile courts in identifying youth who can be safely diverted from further contact with the juvenile justice system by teaching them to make better choices. The primary goal of the Brief Intervention Program is to promote abstinence and prevent relapse among chemical-using, experimental users, and delinquent youth.
