Residential Services
JJC "Residential Services " program is a placement program for both male and female youth involved in the dependent foster care or juvenile justice system. For alleged delinquent youth who must enter detention by court order, JJC provides short-term emergency shelter and counseling in a community-based group home setting. On-site school, counseling, family visitation and recreational activities are provided by JJC until a disposition is rendered by family court.
For those youth that are adjudicated delinquent or dependent, JJC provides long-term care through group homes. This part of the RS program sets out to address emotional problems and to aid the youths' physical, emotional and self-help growth. Social workers also work with the natural families towards resolution of the issues which brought the youth into care, in order to aid re-unification.
If re-unification is not a viable goal, the program is committed to working with the youth and family toward the development of a permanent plan, whether it be long-term foster care or independent living.
