Woodland Hills: Juvenile Justice Services

When an adolescent is acting out, it is sometimes easier to focus actions, instead of the why.

For decades, we have been known as a leader in the field of juvenile rehabilitation and helping youth redirect their path to a successful future. Today, we use trauma informed practices to meet the needs of youth through residential program options designed for boys and girls ages 12–18 (up through age 21 under Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction).

Chisholm 30 —Our short-term residential program for males and females. The program stresses accountability for behavior and emotional management in order to reduce the need for further out-of-home placement. This gender responsive program challenges youth and teaches responsibility through its cognitive behavioral approach. Youth must be court or social service placed into the program.  We offer a 14-20 or 21-30 day program option. 
90/120 —A short-term intervention is offered to youth for 90 to 120 days that focuses on behavior management, thinking errors, skill-building and, if needed, treatment for substance abuse. Youth are challenged to take personal responsibility for their actions and develop, along with practice pro-social skills that include an introduction to an anger management curriculum.
Residential Treatment:  —This program is a resource for adjudicated and social service-placed youth in need of services to address behavioral, emotional, chemical and mental health needs. Gender responsive programming uses an individualized treatment plan to identify and address criminogenic risk factors, utilizes evidence based practices, and empowers youth to invest in the process of change.
