May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a national movement to raise awareness of individuals living with mental or behavioral health issues and to help reduce stigma.
Young people in Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR), receive services and treatment focused on mental and behavioral health, including:
- Coaching and Case Management from program counselors
- Trauma-Informed Care
- Mental Health Services
- Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment
- Therapeutic programming such as dog training, song writing, and more.
“Many of the young people we work with are going through really hard times and have serious mental health needs, problems with drugs or alcohol, or both. These struggles often play a big part in why young people end up in trouble in the first place,” said Juvenile Rehabilitation Director of Medical & Behavioral Health Services Ted Ryle. “Getting young people the right treatment and support is one of the most important things we do. When young people get the help they need, they are much more likely to go home healthy and do well in life. This also helps keep communities safe.”
