Six-week Programs
Juvenile specialists are in a strategic position to provide professional services to youths and their families. DCI’s intensive six-week programs:
- provide participants with a social science and systems-oriented overview for their challenging responsibilities
- emphasize networking to develop close working relationships with schools, social agencies, health resources, churches and other community organizations
- foster a "teamwork relationship" with the juvenile court and probation department as well as with institutional and parole agencies
- teach students to use their discretionary authority to meet the needs of each offender through the most appropriate disposition
- discuss diversion from juvenile court processing and new juvenile justice standards
