Turning Tides for Justice-Impacted Youth
Breaking Chains, Building Bridges
In a society where juvenile recidivism is distressingly high, we are committed to shifting the paradigm. Our unique, faith-driven approach tackles the root causes of youth crime, focusing on the holistic development of each individual under our care. We are not just about keeping youth out of the criminal justice system - we are about equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and resilience to navigate life's challenges successfully and make positive contributions to their communities. Here, we break the chains of the past and build bridges to a brighter future. Together, we can halt the school-to-prison pipeline and champion the cause of juvenile rehabilitation.
The Landscape of Juvenile Justice in Texas
In the state of Texas, youth who commit offenses between the ages of 10 to 17 years are considered juveniles. Majority of detained youth have been diagnosed with mental health disabilities, experienced neglect, and abuse.
The United States juvenile justice department processes over 2.5 million cases per year. Many of the youth who are detained remain in the justice system well into their adulthood. Collaborations between families, community mental health facilities, youth organizations, and the juvenile justice system reportedly are effective in meeting the needs of youth, and tremendously decreases the number of juveniles detention.
