What We Do
Our comprehensive services are designed to meet the range of social, emotional, behavioral, developmental and educational needs of adolescents, to achieve our mission of rehabilitation. Spectrum Juvenile Justice Services utilizes the Forward Focused Treatment Model©, the first evidence-based clinical treatment program developed specifically for adolescents with serious offending behaviors. The cognitive behavioral treatment model is based on current research in adolescent brain development and juvenile justice treatment and includes trauma-focused assessment and treatment.
Treatment is guided by a developmentally-informed conceptualization of each youth’s risks and needs, and utilizes a multi-modal and multi-pronged approach to treatment.
Treatment is specifically designed to prevent recurring involvement with the legal system, promote prosocial development, and promote long-term successful life outcomes. Therapeutic services for each youth include weekly individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy and additional trauma-focused services. Reentry services include family therapy and supported family involvement.
Daily programming is behaviorally-based and includes a merit system (token economy) to further promote the development of prosocial skills, decision-making, and responsibility. Principles of balanced and restorative justice (BARJ) are infused throughout the treatment program to assist youth in repairing any community or victim harm, and reducing community risk.
Additional services include but are not limited to social and independent living skill development. yoga, culinary training and community mentorship. Non-denominational religious services are available, and on-site medical, dental and psychiatric services are also provided. Educational services are provided twelve months a year with a standard curriculum and in accordance with the Michigan Department of Education. All students take the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) Test, and eligible students may take the Michigan Merit Exam.
