ABSTRACT
This document discusses priority problems and
identifies possible solutions with regard to the existing system for
delivery of services to children and youth. The study involved 250
individuals representing child and youth services throughout the
state of California. Each task force study focuses on one major
subject area relating to young people: (1) coordination of public and
private service for children and youth; (2) education; (3) public
attitudes; (4) child advocacy; (5) juvenile Justice; (6) financilg of
services; (7) problems of training young people for employment; (8)
changing family structures; (9) health services; (10) child
protection; and (11) child care. Recommendations presented for
improving child services include: (1) a review of priorities by the
federal government in conjunction with complete renovation of their
budget systen; (2) uniform standard programs at the state and county
level; and (3) more emphasis on treatment as opposed to prevention.

Dear Mr. Speaker:
In June 1973, you charged the California
Assembly Symposium on Services to Children and
Youth with obtaining a comprehensive picture
of how the system for services to children and
youth is viewed by the public and resource
people in the field.
In addition, the Symposium
was to identify priority problems in these
services for further study.
OFFICE
OF
RESEARCH
R. William Hauck
Director
After several months of intensive study
with 250 involved individuals representing
children and youth services throughout the
state, we have determined that the basic problems
are only partially within the structure of the
system. From the task forces organized around
the problems identified at the June 230 workshop
in Sacramento, however, there emerged a degree of
consensus regarding the need for structural
reorganization of certain aspects of the existing
system to facilitate delivery of services to
children and youth.
The enclosed Task Force reports identify
priority problems and suggest recommendations
for solutions.
During the latter part of our
study the Symposium has also been concentrating
on developing the recommendations from the Task
Forces into legislation. These proposals will
appear in a forthcoming report.
