Examples of Programs and Intervention Models 

• Massachusetts Department of Youth Services Community Reentry Centers
  These community reentry centers are located in cities and towns with the highest concentrations of at-risk youth. The goal of placing these centers close to so many offenders is to assist them in making direct contact with families, police, jobs, human services agencies and community services. The desire is to increase the level of involvement with community stakeholders that are committed to preventing youth violence, criminal behavior, and substance abuse and encouraging education, pro-social education and the making of positive lifestyle choices.
  
• Washington’s Functional Family Parole
  This program is family-focused case management-based program that takes place within the community. This treatment technique was borne of the desire to not just ignore these children and families. There is a desire to adapt the techniques found in Functional Family Therapy and Multi-Systemic Therapy to this population based on those therapeutic techniques’ proven ability to reduce future criminal behavior.
  
• Community Intensive Supervision Program (CISP)
  In Pittsburgh, PA all youth returning to the community from residential placement receive a minimum of 90 days of aftercare supervision. The program makes use of day treatment programs, contractor operated programs, and five neighborhood centers for probationers and reentry offenders. The program emphasizes drug and alcohol education and academic instruction.
  
• Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiatives
  The West Virginia Division of Juvenile Services is expanding an existing Reentry Court Program throughout West Virginia.
