Outreach Haven meets the regulations of the New York City
Department of Juvenile Justice and the Office of Children and Family
Services to operate as a Non-Secure Detention Program for females
ages 9-16.
The anticipated length of stay for the adolescents served is
short-term, generally 3-23 days, though it varies for each of the
girls. Recognizing this, Outreach Haven provides a setting designed
to provide an array of age appropriate therapeutic experiences
during this opportunity with the youngster, however brief her stay
in the program.
In cooperation with the New York City Department of
Education and Outreach Family Services, adolescents served at
Outreach Haven benefit from a full day of educational
programming on-site.
In addition, the program ensures that the girls attend all
relevant court and medical appointments.
