LEAP |
LEAP is an intensive, home-based counseling program designed to assist youth and their
families with the transition of the youth back into their homes and communities from
juvenile correctional facilities. LEAP is a partnership with the Department of Child
Services through the Transition from Restrictive Placement program, along with the
Juvenile Probation Department and the Department of Correction.
Our Relationships
Children's Bureau currently has a contract with the Indiana Department of
Corrections to provide aftercare services to youth and their families. Intake and case
management will be a collaborative effort between the youth, parents or guardians, the
Indiana Department of Corrections representative, and the LEAP counselor.
Other resources may include:

Focus
Reunification & Reintegration.
We work with the youth and their parents/guardians and other agencies to
assist the client in returning to the family unit and the community
in which they reside.
Services
We work with the youth and their family for the duration of their commitment
to the DOC, and also for the duration of their time on parole/probation
following their release from DOC, amounting to approximately one year of
service with each family.
This is through case management, referrals, and approximately two hours a
week of face to face contact with the client and his/her family.
