DCYF's Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) serves the highest risk young people in Washington. The population is made up of young people who are convicted of crimes. The crimes reflect violence, neglect, trauma, addiction, and other things young people faced before JR.
The goal of JR is to give young people treatment, resources, and the skills to build successful futures.
JR serves young people up to 25 years old who are committed to juvenile custody by a court. As a result of “JR to 25” the population is older, has longer sentences, and a greater history of crime.

How do we do Rehabilitation?
We provide treatment programs for behavioral health. This includes mental health and substance use programs.
We also provide education and job training programs. Young people can join in different programs from parenting classes, yoga, welding, and other programs. Young people can get a high school education, GED, certifications and college degrees.
Our goal is for young people to leave JR prepared to work, contribute, and thrive in their communities. We want young people to leave JR, get jobs, and have success in their communities. To make that possible, safety and security must come first. We can only focus on meaningful rehabilitation when both staff and young people are safe.
