serving inpatient/outpatient based Youth organizations
ROAD TRAX follows the same protocols and principles as our TRAX PROGRAM, Road Trax serves youth who are confined to a residential institution or committed to an outpatient program.
Each week, we travel to partnering institutions to offer participants the opportunity to develop the positive skills needed to achieve short- and long-term goals as an alternative to the negative behaviors that may have been exhibited in their past. ROAD TRAX is specifically tailored to meet the needs and goals set by each hosting institution.who provide care and support for severely emotionally disturbed, traumatized, addicted, orphaned, abandoned, neglected, poverty striken, justice and gang involved children and young adults (ages: 8-25).
COLLABORATION with support from each partnering institution
PROVIDES team building and peer support
SETS short and long term goals and achievements
OFFERS multi-level support and supervision
CREATES a safe and confidential environment
DELIVERS hands-on training/use of state-the-art music/production equipment and supplies
PROGRAM CRITERIA
No previous creative experience required.
A participant must be willing and able to participate in and comply with the structured programming to ensure continuity as a participant in the program.
A participant may have co-existing or secondary psychiatric complications; however they must be mild in severity and not prevent participation in the program or present a danger to themselves or others participating or working in the program.
A participant who meets the criteria while still residing at an inpatient/residential, outpatient treatment facility may be considered a candidate for transition to Road Recovery’s community based TRAX PROGRAM while still in residential care, outpatient treatment, thus assisting in the continuum of care post-discharge from the inpatient/outpatient organization.
