Program provides services to at risk youth on a non-residential basis

Community-based program that provides comprehensive social services for individuals younger than age 18 who have committed a minor offense and are directed to participate in a diversion program as an alternative to arrest, prosecution or, in some cases, sentencing for the offense. Most juvenile diversion programs do an assessment of the individual's needs and provide and/or coordinate the delivery of the necessary services which may include individual, group or family counseling, substance abuse counseling, supervised recreational activities, vocational guidance, tutorial services and supplemental referrals for other needs.

This program works in partnership with different courts throughout the State of Arkansas to provide offenders of certain crimes with an alternative to incarceration. It is based on the belief that treatment and/or education is a more effective solution than incarceration and uses a Recovery Coach approach to help clients manage mental health and substance use issues by using Acceptance Commitment Therapy. It provides case management to help offenders and assists with gainful employment, safe housing, and transportation.
