Your main contact for District 6 is the district liaison, Stace Gearhart. The office is at 345 N 5th, Pocatello, ID 83201, and you can reach Stace directly at (208) 417-5031. For behavioral health questions (think treatment resources, mental health, or substance use support), IDJC also lists a Behavioral Health Program Specialist line: (208) 577-5415.

Tip: For questions about mental health, substance use, screening, or treatment, start with the Behavioral Health Program Specialist line at (208) 577-5415.

District Liaisons are IDJC's on-the-ground representatives across Idaho's counties. They connect the Department with local stakeholders and support juvenile justice programming in the area. That matters when you're trying to figure out who's involved in your child's case and where to turn next.

For District 6, that liaison is Stace Gearhart. You can call (208) 417-5031 or reference the Pocatello office at 345 N 5th, Pocatello, ID 83201 to confirm you're reaching the right District 6 contact.

Call the Behavioral Health Program Specialist when your questions involve treatment needs, mental health or substance use support, screening, or how services connect back to the community. IDJC's behavioral health team includes clinicians who screen and assess youth in juvenile detention centers and help link them to community mental health and substance use services after release. Call the District 6 liaison when you need help understanding the broader system in your area, or when you need a connection to local stakeholders and juvenile justice programming contacts.

Use the Pocatello office address (345 N 5th) to confirm you're asking for the correct district liaison.

Tip: District Liaisons connect the Department with local stakeholders. If you're stuck, the liaison is often the best "routing" contact to get you to the right local agency or program.

Visitation

How to Visit District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, ID (ID)

If your child is held at District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, one deadline matters immediately: a Detention Hearing must be scheduled within 24 hours (weekends and holidays excluded). At that hearing, the court decides whether your child stays in detention, goes home, or is placed in an alternate setting until the next court date. Expect the early intake steps to move fast. Families are notified of custody as soon as possible, and youth may be fingerprinted and photographed during processing. In some cases, a youth can be released to a parent who signs a written promise to bring them to court at a stated time, unless a judge orders otherwise or release is not considered to promote the welfare of the community or the youth. This page covers what's confirmed about the detention timeline. Visiting hours, approval requirements, ID rules, and what you can bring are not addressed by the available information here. You'll need to confirm those details directly with the facility or the juvenile court.
