New Haven Project APOYO

Program Highlights

Project APOYO offers a comprehensive array of services and provides monitoring, supervision and support six days per week to young Latino offenders who reside in the Greater New Haven Area. The program is successful because it is designed to be culturally and linguistically specific. Some of the services we provide include:

• Substance abuse education and awareness; referrals for evaluation and treatment.
• Anger management and other evidence-based/process groups, such as parenthood and goal-setting.
• Mental health services and referrals for youth and their families.
• Comprehensive case management.
• Employment and vocational assistance.
• Development of basic life skills.
• Supervised community service.
• Electronic monitoring.
• Structured recreational, cultural and social activities.
• Follow-up services after completion of the program.
