SERVICES

Justice Assistance provides a comprehensive, holistic way of responding when our clients experience serious mental health or behavioral challenges often ignited by trying to overcome various obstacles to success.

Behavioral Health Services

Justice Assistance licensed clinicians use a systemic way to obtain and document information about a client’s psychiatric condition, functionality, behavior, personal history, values, preferences, goals, and other relevant information. This is then analyzed using clinical reasoning to identify underlying causes of conditions and symptoms and to choose pertinent interventions.  

Clients have access to mental health and substance use counseling. Clinical interventions are designed to provide maximum reduction of mental health disability and restoration or maintenance of functioning consistent with requirements for learning, employment, and personal development.  Toxicology screenings are coming soon.


Employment and Education Services

Justice Assistance uses various assessments such as the Comprehensive Assessment System for Adult Students (CASAS) to determine assess to the learning ability and motivational traits of our client and find pathways to success. In addition, the Job Match Profile (JMP) gives insight to our clients’ work skills and motivation. Our staff works daily to prepare our clients for employment, including preparing them for interviews and sharpening skills needed to be successful in a work environment.
