Youth Programs
PROJECT 2ND CHANCE
Project 2nd Chance is a restorative Justice diversion program that creates opportunities for a facilitated dialogue between a young person who has caused harm, the person who has been harmed, caregivers/families, and community members to discuss the impact of the incident on everyone. Project 2nd chance is a post arrest but pre-charge, meaning that the young person has not been charged with a crime. The youth is diverted to P2ndC program by police, probation, or the district attorney’s office instead of being processed through the juvenile legal system.

Clinicians will be trained in Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), Cognitive Behavioral interventions, and Seeking Safety’s dual
