A Maricopa-based intervention program continues to grow.
Already taught in Maricopa and Phoenix, The Streets Don’t Love You Back Lifeskills Intervention Program was accepted into the state’s Department of Corrections earlier this year. Now, closer to home, it has been accepted at the Eloy Justice Court.
May 18, Judge Eustino Tino Tarango III and Deputy County Attorney Melanie A. Merritt met with TSDLYB founders Rob and Lucinda Boyd. Rob Boyd expects to teach the six-session course as he does at Maricopa/Stanfield Justice Court and Phoenix.
“We are so honored how good is moving us forward educating our youths and others to a better life and making better choices,” Boyd said.
The course booklets, which are already distributed in more than 100 prisons and jails, was written by Lucinda Boyd.
The free course is for youth and young adults already on a criminal course or are exhibiting signs of being on the verge of life influenced by gangs, crime and drugs.
