Step One Resource Team (S.O.R.T.) offers an alternative to the formal judicial process allowing the avoidance of Court systems for Jackson County youth. Additionally, S.O.R.T. leverages community partnerships for the provision of therapeutic services and the connection to pro-social activities.

At S.O.R.T., we recognize the likelihood of long-term success of children is improved with the avoidance of the formal Court process. As a team, we endeavor to connect children and families to supportive services in an effort to facilitate the circumvention of the formal Court process. In every communication and interaction, we strive to exhibit professionalism, respect and empathy while recognizing the unique needs of each child and family participant.
