The Passages to Change Program is a specialized treatment program for individuals ages 16 to 25 who have legal issues and do not quite fit in either a youth program or an adult program because of their life circumstances and level of emotional maturity. Passages to Change offers two distinct and separate programs based on age: The Older Youth Program is designed for youth who are 16 to 18 years old and the Passages to Change Program is designed for 18 to 25 year olds. Participants must be willing to commit to 18 months in this outpatient treatment program. This program has an intensive wrap around case management component that incorporates the vocational, housing and employment needs of the client. A primary goal is to help the client re-integrate into the workforce or school.
