Reception and Assessment Center

Families and agencies can self-refer youth between 10 and 17 years of age who are having contact with law enforcement or school disciplinary staff. Assessment of family/youth needs and strengths and referral to community resources included.

RAC is a detention diversion program that provides an alternative to incarceration for law enforcement and school officials who detain youth who have committed low level or non-detainable offenses. By interrupting their involvement into the juvenile justice system, this approach sets a positive trajectory for the youth and their families. The goal is to intervene swiftly and connect youth and their family to community resources to prevent further involvement with the juvenile justice system.
