Provides a range of services targeted to adolescents (up to 18 years) and their families, who are residents of Staten Island, through a network of preventive and PINS diversion programs. Programs are designed to offset the need for family court involvement and out-of-home placement of emotionally troubled and acting out adolescents while assisting families in reaching optimal functioning. Services include crisis intervention, assessment, individual, family and group treatment. The Juvenile Justice Initiative program uses Multisytemic Therapy (MST) and is designed to work with adolescents who have had involvement with the criminal justice system with the goal of preventing future arrests and preventing placement. MST is an evidence-based therapeutic model with a strong emphasis on achieving observable and measurable results within the context of highly prescribed service protocol.
