Intervention Services
Lakes Center for Youth & Families (LC4YF) Intervention Program works in partnership with parents, schools, and the justice system to develop healthy, positive decision-making skills and interrupt harmful behavior patterns.
Our staff helps youth who are involved in higher-risk behavior understand that they are responsible for the outcomes of their decisions and empower them to make better choices. By using programs designed to reduce problem behaviors, our intervention programs help individuals gain vital development skills that lead to healthier relationships, better decision making, and a deeper connectedness with family and community.
We believe the advice, guidance, and involvement of parents and guardians is essential for a youth’s success in life. Through parent/guardian involvement in this program, positive values are reinforced and integrated into daily life.
Intervention Program Options
Our Approach
Our Intervention program is based on four restorative justice values:
Crime is a violation of people and relationships
Crime creates obligations to make things right
Justice involves the victim, offender, and community
Justice seeks solutions that promote repair, reconciliation, and reassurance
