The Primary Mission of the St. Clair County Day Program, Inc is to prevent juvenile crime in the County and to provide a positive, cost-effective alternative to incarceration. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The St. Clair County Day Program, Inc is an innovative Department of Youth Services licensed day treatment facility for seventy-five (75) high-risk adolescents and their families. Implementation of the program is the result of community concern for increased school dropout rates, high juvenile crime statistics, and strain experienced by the juvenile court. Adolescents, ages 11-18 are ordered to attend the program by the St. Clair County Juvenile Court Judge. One probation officer provides supervision for all students during their involvement in the program. The Day Program provides direct services to these high-risk adolescents and their families. These services include Academic Remediation, GED Preparation, Behavior Management, ROPES course training, Parent Project education, along with individual, group and family counseling. The services a student receives are outlined and individually tailored to address the factors putting them at risk. This outline includes primarily academic and clinical goals that formulate an individualized success plan. The Day Program operates on a year-round basis. Students attend the program, Monday through Friday from 8: 00 a.m. to 2: 45 p.m. Office hours are from 7: 30 a.m. to 3: 30 p.m. Services are provided by a staff composed of professionals in the fields of counseling and education.
