Juvenile Justice Programs

The POSITRACT caseworker worked with 33 children during 2010.

Because every young person is an individual with different needs, we have developed a variety of programs for children and adolescents who are unruly or in trouble. These programs are in partnership with Athens County Juvenile Court.

POSITRACT is a crisis intervention and diversion program for youth 13-18 which seeks to provide solutions to behavior problems by working with the youth, family, schools, and court. Referrals may be received from parents, school, clergy, law enforcement and courts.
