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.
