Mission
Options for Justice provides support services and education/training for individuals served, families, and professionals in the justice, social service, and/or developmental and intellectual disabilities service delivery system. Options for Justice helps determine eligibility for our program and ultimately for available resources. We ensure that individuals understand their rights and responsibilities, then work to create an individualized plan of support designed to pave the way for a successful outcome as participants navigate the justice system. We work to make connections to important resources, assist with navigating the intricate facets of accessing these resources, then continue to support the individual as they work toward meeting their goals. With assistance, individuals can break the cycle of detainment, or failure within the system, to become active, contributing members of their community.
