Description

Milwaukee County will use the funding to plan and implement a comprehensive aftercare program for youth with severe emotional disorders and/or co-occurring substance use disorders who are transitioning from incarceration into the community. The initiative will build upon and expand existing programs and services available to approximately 30 aftercare youth during the grant period. Participants will have access to wraparound clinical, crisis, and other types of support services. In addition, reach-in services to help plan for aftercare and provide support to identified youth and their families will be provided by community based organizations while the youth are incarcerated.
