Institutions
The Division of Institution Programs oversees two institutions, one youth camp and one basic training camp. Upon placement at one of these residential facilities, youth are assessed to create the best treatment plan based on their specific needs. At the core of JRA's treatment program is the evidence-based Integrated Treatment Model. Youth are taught behavioral skills and given tools to help them change their behavior, thoughts, emotions and reactions to daily situations and challenges. They learn to handle and tolerate distress, solve problems and manage their anger. Institutions also provide academic and vocational programs, health care and mental health services.
