Girls SEEK

North County Lifeline (dba Lifeline Community Services) proposes to implement the Girls SEEK (Success, Encouragement, Empowerment & Knowledge) program to reduce risk factors and promote protective factors for justice-involved girls 17 and younger in North San Diego County, CA. Girls SEEK will provide comprehensive family assessment, case management, trauma-focused individual/family/group therapy, gender-specific gang prevention services—such as 1:1 mentoring, family outings, and positive development field trips—and other supportive referrals. Services will focus heavily on identifying and treating the traumatic experiences underlying girls’ behavior. Girls SEEK will connect youth and their parents to supportive referrals to other community organizations to facilitate the success of the youths’ goals.
