The 5 Stones Task Force will discuss Tarrant County's high risk women's intervention program at its June 30 meeting.

The City of Fort Worth posted a blog with the meeting details on Monday.

According to the blog, the meeting will feature a panel discussion on the Reaching Independence Through Self-Empowerment (RISE) program.

The panel will include Tarrant County Magistrate Judge Sheila Wynn, program manager Tre'Naisha McGuire, and case manager Naomy Franco.

The panel will discuss how the program works to change the lives of women with complex trauma and qualifying criminal offenses.
