The Youth and Family Restoration Program is a delinquency intervention program, which includes an in-custody phase of 180 days and a 180-day intensive aftercare phase. This program is a collaboration between the Probation Department, Drug and Alcohol Services and Family Care Network. The program involves intensive case management and individualized treatment services. The program treatment services are based on the assessed needs of the minor and his/her family which may include substance abuse treatment, family counseling, other mental health services and educational support.
The program consists of two therapists from Drug and Alcohol Services, two therapists from Family Care Network, two Probation Officers, one Juvenile Services Officer and a Supervising Deputy Probation Officer. Caseload sizes in the program are kept small so that intensive counseling and supervision can be provided.
The target population for the program are youths between the ages of thirteen and seventeen who are wards of the Juvenile Court and who have not been successful in previous probation interventions. The Youth and Family Restoration Program has the capacity for 10 minors in custody at any given time.
