“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 limited secure placement (lsp)is also part of the residential care continuum for adjudicated juvenile delinquents in new york city. Most youth served will range from 14 to 18 years of age but,on occasion,an older or younger youth might be served.we ensure that youth are able to develop their academic, pre-vocational and communications skills through aspects of the program and work with family members to maintain and strengthen the youth's connection to his or her family and community. Our non-secure placement program is a residential program serving adjudicated youth ages 12 to 15. 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. The family respite program serves youth ages 7 to 17 who are at risk of contact with the juvenile justice system by providing respite and therapeutic services for up to 21 days. The program staff also refers families to appropriate community based services for sustained assistance. Our family resource center provides critical parenting education and support for low-income families in one central community-based location. The juvenile justice initiative and aftercare program expands our implementation of the functional family therapy evidenced-based model in the juvenile justice field. The article 31 clinic provides outpatient health treatment to children and adolescents ages 5 to 21 years and family members who meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis. Our care cordination program enables rising ground to serve as a downstream care management agency(cma) providing comprehensive care management services to children and adults who meet necessary criteria. Part iii line 4a narrative of our unaccompanied migrant children (umc): our unaccompanied migrant children (umc) program provides short-term residential care and assistance to unaccompanied migrant children who have come into the united states from other countries without an adult guardian.
