MisOcc launches program to support at-risk youth to create safer communities

 


OROQUIETA, Misamis Occidental — The Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, in collaboration with the Provincial Council for the Protection of Children (PCPC), is spearheading a Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Program (CLJIP) aimed at rehabilitating youth offenders and curbing criminal activities.

Convening on April 23-24, 2024, at the Asenso Misamis Occidental Sports and Cultural Center in Oroquieta City, stakeholders from various sectors gathered to formulate the CPJIP. Endorsed by key stakeholders, including the Provincial Council on Anti-Trafficking, Child Protection, and Violence Against Women and Children (PCAT-CP-VAWC), this initiative marks a significant stride toward addressing juvenile issues and providing support to vulnerable adolescents.

Governor Henry S. Oaminal's steadfast commitment to proactive measures for at-risk youth and the prevention of delinquency has been evident throughout his administration. His call for collaboration underscores the need for comprehensive support systems for young individuals facing challenges.

The CLJIP adopts a multifaceted approach encompassing educational support, counseling, skills training, and community engagement initiatives tailored to the diverse needs of youth. It serves as a comprehensive response plan involving multiple sectors and agencies of the government, as well as civil society organizations, with the overarching goal of reducing new cases involving children at risk and facilitating their rehabilitation and reintegration.

The program embraces diversion and intervention programs, with a primary focus on intervening in specific cases and fostering nurturing environments conducive to positive youth development.

Under Governor Oaminal's leadership, the Asenso administration reaffirms its commitment to prioritizing the rights and welfare of children. Through active engagement with stakeholders, the administration aims to effectively implement the provisions of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (JJWA) and ensure the successful execution of the CPJIP.

The Provincial Government, through the PCPC, PCAT-CP-VAWC, and other partners, is dedicated to making this program a success, focusing on tangible results and continuous improvement. Together, they strive to reduce delinquency rates and enhance the well-being of young people in Misamis Occidental.(PGMO)
