Crossroads

The Crossroads Program will focus on working with youth, ages 10-17, with no previous legal involvement, but are exhibiting issues with truancy, violent behaviors, substance and alcohol use and other risk taking behaviors.

The youth and their families will receive intensive case management services for 3-6 months. It is anticipated that the youth receiving services through Crossroads will develop pro-social attitudes and positive support systems, experience enhanced personal and family functioning and demonstrate improved educational, vocational and personal performance. 

We will be serving the most vulnerable population, by providing pure intervention services, to youth who find themselves at a Crossroad.

Our main program goal is to divert these youth from becoming involved with the juvenile justice system. Also we will see a significant reduction in risk taking behaviors, improvement in school attendance and improved pro-social attitudes.

Each participant will be assessed using the Youth Assessment Screening Instrument (YASI). There will be ongoing assessment of each youth's progress toward their service plan goals.
