Definition of Aftercare The care, treatment, help, or supervision given to persons discharged from an institution (such as a prison or hospital). Merriam Webster Dictionary

Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention www.ojjdp.com Youth who are released from institutional confinement are more likely to succeed if they have access to services that can help them thrive in a non institutional environment. When high-quality reentry and aftercare services are available, youth need to spend less time in confinement, and the overall cost of juvenile corrections can be reduced. Effective reentry/aftercare programs begin before a youth leaves the facility and involve the family and the community.

AFTER CARE Follow Up Acts 14: 21, 22 They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch,22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. Planting and Watering 1 Corinthians 3: 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
