Justice Office Receives Counseling, Therapy Grant for Youth Offenders
Foundation: Wyoming Community Foundation
A new program in Sheridan County, Wyo., aims to help juvenile offenders turn their lives around.
The Sheridan County Justice Office has received $8,000 from the Wyoming Community Foundation to use for counseling and therapy services for juveniles, the Sheridan Press reports.
"In our core program, we do therapy in-house and that sort of thing, but we don't have the equivalent for juveniles," says SCJO administrator Dan Lindly.
"If they're willing to participate in some counseling sessions, the idea is that none of that information would come back to us or be needed by us, if it was there and they wanted to do that, this was a way to make that happen for them to get those services."
Lindly says juveniles often become criminals because of problems at home or mental health issues.
"We want there to be accountability for the problem that got them in trouble with the law," he says.
"We want them to understand why that behavior was inappropriate, how they could have done some things differently, why the laws are there and are the way they are."
