AFTERCARE



Aftercare is a word defined as care for a patient after a stay in a hospital or of a person released from prison. We believe aftercare is a missing component of youth mentoring.





Our idea of "Aftercare" is getting the child's family involved in the redirection process. If the child returns to the same negative environment, there is left a difficult cycle to break. We have to change the mindset of the child as well as the parent and/or guardian. We accomplish this by offering classes to the parent/guardian in:


* Financial Management

* Communication Skills

* Decision Making

* Social Independence

* Emotional and Moral Support

* Establishing Family Boundaries
