About Our Program

The purpose of the Aftercare Resource Navigator Program is to increase positive outcomes for youth who are reentering the community from a residential commitment facility by identifying and establishing relationships with resources that address the service needs of youth and families, connecting youth served by the Program and their families with the appropriate resources to address their specific service needs. The Program provides transitional planning services to youth who are pending release from a Facility, including youth who will be supervised on Conditional Release (CR) or Post-Commitment Probation (PCP) upon their release, and Direct Discharge youth, who will be released with no supervision.
