PICKAWAY COUNTY TEEN TASK FORCE |
| |
The Pickaway County Teen
Task Force is a Functional Committee of the Pickaway County Family and
Children First Council (PCFCFC) and advises the Council concerning teen
health, teen life style issues,
and transition of youth into adulthood. The Task Force serves as the
linkage between Council and the needs of youth in Pickaway County,
assuring the placement of those concerns into Council discussions, and
communicating information from Council to the Teen Task Force. Members
of the Teen Task Force may be Council or non-Council members with an
interest in the goals of the Teen Task Force. The Teen Task Force will
be represented on the Council by its chairperson as a voting member.
In our efforts to fulfill the vision and mission of the Council, the
Teen Task Force will be guided by Ohio’s Commitments to Child
Well-Being: children and youth succeed in school, youth choose healthy
behaviors, and youth successfully transition into adulthood. |

The Teen Task Force
supports the research from Search Institute (www.search-institute.org)
regarding the building blocks of healthy development that help young
people grow up healthy, caring, and responsible. The 40 Developmental
Assets are powerful influences on adolescent behavior - both
protecting young people from many different problem behaviors and
promoting positive attitudes
and behaviors. |
