PROGRAMS
Mercer County Interagency Coordinating Council (CIACC):
Shannon L. Scott, Mercer County CIACC Coordinator - serves
as the mechanism to develop and maintain a responsible,
acceptable and integrated system of care for children with
special behavioral, emotional and mental health concerns and
their families through the involvement of parents, consumers,
youth and child serving agencies as partners. The CIACC
currently meets no more than six times a year on the fourth
Thursday of the month.
Mercer County State Incentive Program - Phase III (SIP)P Tia
Sanders Director - Works to address the needs of 12 Mercer
County males between the ages of 13 and 17 who otherwise
would have been committed to or placed residentially in a
Juvenile Justice Commission facility, repeat offenders typically
with a violation of probation and with a 3rd or 4th degree
adjudication in their court history or first-time offenders with a
serious charge that warrants commmitment. The program
works to build on the strengths of communities using existing
collaborative relationships and demonstrate ways in which the
program can support the youth and their families. Youth will

months of aftercare services.
