Reentry Starts Here: A Guide for Youth in Long-Term Juvenile Corrections and Treatment Programs. NCJ 251193
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
This toolkit was developed as a resource to help young people in juvenile corrections and treatment programs prepare for reentry and success in the community. The purpose of this guide is to encourage re-entry youth to begin thinking and planning for success at the earliest point possible while in placement. As such, the guide is organized into two sections: (1) planning for reentry while in placement; and (2) successful reentry into your community. The resources provided in this guide speak to common barriers that youth may experience upon reentry; they include action steps youth can take to address those barriers with the help of a caring adult.
