Our San Antonio Intensive Supervision Program is funded by the Texas Youth Commission as an alternative to incarceration for youth ages 10-19 years old. While the average number of days each youth stayed in this program was only 24, the clients showed some significant gains in areas that TYC and state-run institutions are typically not able to achieve.
2008 Program Outcomes:
40% increase in the mental and emotional health of clients
34% improvement to relationship with parents/guardians
44% improvement in relationship with teachers/other authority figures
35% increase in clients’ coping skills
43% increase in problem-solving skills
44% improvement in school attendance
