DJJDP’s Philosophy The DJJDP philosophy is designed to deliver evidence based, consistent, coordinated, and comprehensive services that promote positive youth development. We use the knowledge, skills, and abilities of all staff to provide prevention, habilitation, and rehabilitation services to youth. The family role is emphasized in the delivery of all services. Staff, youth, family, and community work together to reduce the risk of offending and re-offending while increasing opportunities for success.

Therapeutic Environment (TE) Allows for a structured environment focused on therapeutic activities Promotes positive relationships between youth and staff Reinforces youth skill acquisition through focused positive staff-youth interactions Provides opportunities for youth to practice establishing new patterns of values, thoughts, and behaviors
