Kathy Nate Stephanie Lana ValarieValarie was referred to the JAC for truancy and struggling with academic success in most of her classes. Valarie was also a teen mother and on probation. The assessment scored high on anxiety and it was learned Valarie had not attended school for the past two years. Valarie’s mother and aunt were enlisted to provide support by caring for Valarie’s child while she attended school.
