Juvenile Justice Initiative
TACS is committed to working with an increasing number of youth involved with the justice system (juvenile delinquents and persons in need of supervision (PINS) youth) in the community through diversion initiatives and/or foster boarding home placements. ACS has a specific program using treatment
modalities tested in other communities for their effectiveness in addressing the issues these young people bring to the child welfare system.

The juvenile justice initiative involves implementation of three specific evidence-based therapy models (as noted in the ACS presentation.
A more detailed discussion of each modality has been developed by Foundling Hospital as part of the “Blue Sky Project.”
