part iii line 4d -all other program services : our juvenile justice services include both secure and non-secure placement programs for court-involved youth, both of which are based on the belief that young people with histories of delinquency need support, education and other tools to return safely and successfully to their communities and break the cycle of delinquency.

Our program is community-oriented and family-focused, using the nationally recognized missouri model, a treatment method that involves grouping youth into small cohorts of 10-12 with whom they live, attend school, participate in recreational activities and receive counseling. We ensure that youth are able to develop their academic, pre-vocational and communications skills through various aspects of the program as well as work with family members to maintain and strengthen the youth's connection with his or her family and community.
