Description
Maintains a message service for youth who want to relay a message but are not ready to communicate directly with their parent. Serves as a less intimidating means for youth to reestablish contact with their parent/guardian and often serves as the first step toward reunification. In addition, a parent may access the service to leave a message for their child to be delivered if/when their child contacts NRS.
