Case Managment Types of Services

Custody Cases

Juveniles placed in the custody of Juvenile Justice Authority (JJA) have been removed from the home for a variety of reasons. They are placed in an environment that can monitor and help modify the juveniles’ behavior with the usual intent to reunite them with their family.
The juveniles’ family members are involved in the treatment process and are often involved in counseling or guidance themselves.
Placement is considered temporary as the juvenile will normally be returning to the family. In some instances, the juvenile will pursue independent living arrangements with their case manager.
Placements can range from emergency shelter, foster care placement, group home placement, to a psychiatric hospital setting. The case manager makes an assessment along with a team to determine the needs of each juvenile. While in custody, the juvenile may be able to avail themselves to many different types of additional services.

Non-Custody Cases

The JJA recognizes the benefit of intervening with a juvenile offender prior to placing them outside of the home. Therefore JJA has contracted with various agencies across the state to provide a variety of services for juveniles and their families to help correct any problems that, if continued, would result in the juvenile being placed outside of the home.
These services include but are not limited to:
* GED Preparation
* Individual and Family Counseling
* Mediation Services
* Crossroads - Cognitive/Behavior Management Program
* ACCESS - Day Reporting Program
* In-Home Intensive Therapy
* Adolescent Support
* Electronic Monitoring
