Community-Based Day Treatment

Philosophy

To prevent further involvement of youth in the juvenile justice system. To help youth be accountable for their actions, develop victim empathy and take greater responsibility for the quality of life in their family and community. To develop measurable competencies that help youth become more responsible and productive members of their communities. These goals are accomplished by providing a Therapeutic Milieu which provides and environment of psychological, social and moral safety that encourages personal dignity, cooperation and promotes successful experiences as a foundation for building self-esteem, self-confidence and motivation for personal growth and maturity.
