First the case is send to the program from the District Attorney’s Office, and then a letter is send to the child’s home for invitation to the program. When the client comes in I first take a MAYSI assessment (Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument). After the assessment, I briefly go over the result of the assessment and then conduct an orientation to the family to help them better understand what the program is really about. The family does have a choice whether or not they would do the program. If they decided that the program is a good fit for them then I schedule them for a comprehensive assessment which takes up to two hours to complete. The comprehensive assessment form assess in four major parts which is education history, family history, substance abuse and physical mental health status. After the assessment I then decide which type of intervention approach that I’m going to use. The program does not provide any type of counseling we have to refer out to the community for intervention.

The characteristics and backgrounds of the people served by this program are diverse populations, underserved, at-risk adolescents and delinquent juveniles between the ages of 11 and 18 including their families.
