Invest In Inclusion or Invest in Exclusion: The Choice is Ours! Presentation ...LiveWorkPlay
When talking to the general public about disability and accessibility, this is often what comes to mind: they see a person in a wheelchair who cannot get through the door. These types of barriers remain of course, and I am sure right here in this city someone will go out looking for work tomorrow and experience this very same injustice. But today I want to talk about a different type of barrier, a different level of injustice: what if the very people and systems that are supposed to be supporting a person with a disability to have success in the community are deliberately investing in keeping them out of the community? What if they are discouraged from even trying to get through the door?

The Salt River Department of Corrections in Arizona has partnered with the Boys & Girls Club to create an innovative rehabilitation program for incarcerated juveniles. The program provides educational, vocational, health and life skills classes to help youths transition back into the community successfully. It has proven effective, with many youths continuing with the Boys & Girls Club after release and four earning their high school diploma. The program aims to give at-risk youth tools to make positive choices and not re-offend. It emphasizes character development, relationships and opportunities in a safe, supportive environment.
The document describes the "Super Kids" program which provides services to children and youth with special needs and disabilities. The target population includes those with cognitive impairments, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or developmental disabilities. The program's mission is to promote inclusion and equal opportunities. Services include counseling, therapy, after school activities, and employment assistance. The program applies an open systems theory and uses an information system to track client progress and outcomes.
This document summarizes the evolution and impact of the Court Coordination Program (CCP), which leverages the authority of juvenile court judges to facilitate services for at-risk youth. It introduces CCP directors from three pilot sites who discuss how CCP improved outcomes, including lower recidivism and fewer residential placements. CCP has now expanded beyond the original five pilot programs and been shown to fit within a wraparound model to efficiently and accountably deliver services.

The document outlines a program called "Breaking the Cycle" which aims to prevent juvenile delinquency through early intervention strategies rather than detention. The program will identify at-risk youth ages 8-21 and provide in-house programs, counseling, education, and referrals to address issues like learning disabilities, health, social skills, and life skills. The goal is to support healthy development and avoid youth entering the criminal justice system, which is far more costly both financially and in human suffering than prevention and intervention programs.

It is with great admiration and profound gratitude that I

JDCP and all of its amazing components and
accomplishments have been created through each and
every team member’s commitment and dedication to
improving the lives of the children, families and the
communities that we serve.
None of this would have been possible without District
Attorney Carol Chambers, who has been a
continuous advocate and supporter of our program.
Thank you.

Comments from the Bench
“I routinely sing the praises of the diversion
opportunity in court to juveniles, particularly
emphasizing how critically important it is that they
give 100 percent effort from start to finish. The
benefits of a juvenile entering diversion are multi-
faceted.”
Magistrate Robert Lung,
18th Judicial District
“I agree it is an extremely valuable and effective
program. Please express our gratitude to all who
are involved as what they do is so important to our
youth and society. Thanks for sharing!”

Introduction
This report focuses on the program development, key achievements and
extensive evaluation of the Juvenile Diversion Counseling
Program from 2006-2009.
JDCP is unique in that it offers comprehensive, multimodal treatment. Our
“one size fits no-one” philosophy demands that everything we do is
based on the client and family’s needs rather than the program requirements.
History
Responding to an overwhelming increase in juvenile delinquency, in 1974,
District Attorney Robert R. Gallagher, Jr. convened a Juvenile Justice
Task Force to study how to reduce juvenile involvement with the criminal justice
system and how to make the system more responsive to individual needs.
The 18th Juvenile Diversion Program was conceived by this task force
and began operation in October 1975. Since that time, the program has evolved
into an established and effective approach providing community prevention and
intervention. With offices in Aurora, Centennial, Littleton and Castle Rock, JDCP
serves an average of 1,237 juveniles per year. Services provided include
individual and family counseling, experiential therapy, community service and
restitution.
In 2005, under the leadership of a new director and a new district attorney, the
Juvenile Diversion Program began to expand services, pursue additional
resources for funding and conduct a comprehensive program evaluation. In
2006, the program’s name was changed to the Juvenile Diversion Counseling
Program to clarify our role.
“We are not ‘diversion officers.’ While we do provide community-based supervision, we are master's-level and
licensed psychotherapists. With the word diversion meaning so many things to different people, it is important
that we differentiate ourselves as direct service providers and not case managers.”
-S. Dodd, Director, JDCP

JDCP Mission
In an atmosphere of professionalism and excellence,
we provide counseling and support to juvenile
offenders and their families. We create opportunities
for change with an emphasis on accountability and
personal growth.
“Creating our mission statement was a tremendous
accomplishment. During our first retreat, we
brainstormed together until we all agreed on
who we are and what we wanted to do. It was
one of the first things we did as a team.”

What Makes Us Different
• We are client-centered, which means each
treatment component, each service we recommend
and provide and each client’s length of treatment is
based on that client’s treatment needs, situation,
offense, and family.
• Our staff comprises master's-level clinicians who
have advanced and varied areas of expertise. They
receive on-going supervision, professional
development, training and support. Each year we
set and achieve professional and personal goals as
a team.
• Our “one size fits no one” belief. While many
evidenced-based practices are available, matching
the treatment to the client is key for success.

“I would like to work with kids like me when I grow up so I can teach
them what I have learned” - art therapy client
Art Therapy
In a traditional outpatient setting, without alternative
experiential therapies, many of the clients we serve are
viewed as untreatable. Providing art therapy is an effective
way to empower and heal kids. Learning and practicing
pro-social forms of expression replace prior delinquent,
acting-out behavior. Developing mastery, self-esteem and
coping skills are just a few of the benefits received.

me on track by motivating me to stay out of
trouble.”
• “Because I can talk to my parents without
fighting with them.”
• “It made me realize that I am not the problem
but a part of it.”

a nice lady… who helped me learn how to be
a gentleman around girls and be smart in my
actions.”

times’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Restorative Justice Results
When completing our feedback forms, clients are given the opportunity to respond to 28 specific questions gathering
relevant information on their background, reason for attending diversion, the professionalism, quality and
responsiveness of their therapist as well as goals and future plans. Below are anonymous quotes and statistics taken
from our surveys.
Things you learned from community service:
• “It helped me train myself to do things that I
particularly did not want to do, but in the end,
everyone has to do some things in life that they
don’t want to do. Then I found out, it’s not so bad
once I’m there and it’s a good cause.”
Things you learned from restorative justice:
• “The resolution was very fair and I am excited to
help with the school and teach kids about what
happened so it will show them not to do this.”
• “I had a chance to apologize personally.”
• “We were a part of the process that decided our
punishment.”
List one important personal goal that you would like
to achieve as a result of attending a restorative
justice circle:
• “To pass all of my classes, not break the law EVER
again, and to treat people with respect for
themselves, and their belongings”
Restorative justice circle results based
on 25 completed surveys from 3/10/08-
2/17/09:
• 87.5 percent rated the RJ circle as good or
excellent
• 12.5 percent rated it at satisfactory
• 70 percent of participants strongly agreed
with the statement, “I am less likely to break
the law because I attended the RJ circle.”
• 41.7 percent strongly agreed and 50 percent
agreed with the statement, “My family life
has improved because I attended the RJ
circle.”
• 83.3 percent strongly agreed and 16.7
percent agreed with the statement, “I
understand how my actions affect others
people as a result of attending the RJ circle.”
Our restorative justice component brings together circles of people impacted by an adolescent’s poor decisions, including
the adolescent, his/her parents, victims, law enforcement, school personnel and community members. During the circle,
the adolescent demonstrates accountability for the choice, talks about thoughts and feelings before, during and since the
offense and learns from other participants about impacts and concerns. The circle concludes with the group reaching
an agreement about how the adolescent can make amends for the harm caused.

Recidivism Results
The JDCP’s recidivism rates for 2008 are 1.93 percent at six months and 3.87 percent at 12 months.*
Overall recidivism rates have declined from 2006 to 2008 for clients who successfully completed the
program and have been out of the program for a period of six to 12 months. Clients who successfully
completed the program and have been out of the program for more than 12 months show a sharper
decline in recidivism rates from 2006 to 2007.
In Colorado recidivism rates for diversion programs are 19.4 percent (Juvenile Justice Annual Report to the
Governor, September 2009)**. Recidivism rates for similar programs at the national level are not
available.
The JDCP rates are exponentially lower than the state rate.
Class of Charge for Referred Clients:
Seventy percent of clients referred to JDCP faced felony (F3-F6)
and/or misdemeanor charges (M1-M3) and
29 percent of clients were referred with a petty offense.
One percent of clients referred were for UC/UP*
*(underage consumption and underage possession of alcohol). Underage consumption alone is not filed at the
district court level in our jurisdiction (JDCP, 2009).
*See Appendix I
**The available recidivism rates compiled through the OAJJA reflect the 22 programs participating in the OAJJA juvenile diversion grant.

*Success is defined as completing the program with a positive termination.
**Post-release recidivism for probation is defined as a filing for felony or misdemeanor charges within one year of termination from program
placement for a criminal offense. Recidivism for JDCP is defined as a misdemeanor and/ or felony adjudication or conviction within one
year of termination from the program. Information is based on FY2008 terminations remaining successful one year after release
(Recidivism Report-FY2009, Colorado State Judicial Branch).
While these two programs
are different and cannot be
used objectively for
comparative analysis, the
outcomes from both
programs indicate that
diversion is a cost-effective
and highly successful
intervention.
Currently, diversion programs are offered voluntarily by districts and are not required by the state.
