Juvenile Reentry. Literature Review: A Product of the Model Programs Guide
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Comprehensive reentry efforts for juveniles begin once they enter a residential facility and continue upon their return to the community. The research examined in this literature review highlights that youths returning from out-of-home placements have specific needs that should be considered in reentry planning, chief among them are mental health and substance use treatment, family engagement, education and employment programs, and housing. Therapeutic communities, mentoring, case management, cognitive-behavioral therapies, and reentry courts are examples of types of programs that can help address some of the major barriers youths face as they reenter society.
