Treatment Programs

These sessions should do the following:

• deal primarily with coping skills for daily detention living and secondly with the problems that may arise after release
• provide information to juveniles to reduce anxieties about their living situations
• improve the quality of staff-to-juvenile relationships, helping juveniles respond more positively to adults as authority figures
• assist juveniles in solving problems for themselves
• assist juveniles in making the connections between behavior and positive and negative consequences
