PROGRAM INFORMATION

The Pathways Juvenile Diversion Program is a partnership led by the Sylacauga Alliance for Family Enhancement, Inc. (SAFE). SAFE oversees the program’s daily operations. Pathways uses several evidences‑based guides, including Models for Change, Check and Connect, Parent Project, and Why Try. The program’s goal is to reduce commitments to the Department of Youth Services (DYS), help youth complete their court requirements, and prevent future delinquency. It does this by strengthening each youth’s connection to their family and other positive influences.

Pathways provides an alternative to traditional juvenile court processing. The program uses an individualized, strengths‑based approach that is thorough, tailored, and appropriate for each youth it serves.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

The Tuscaloosa Encouraging Adolescents with Monitoring and Support (TEAMS) program provides electronic monitoring or GPS tracking, along with intensive case management. These services are designed to strengthen both the youth and their family. By offering coordinated support with the Juvenile Probation Officer, the program helps youth move through the system more safely and quickly, with fewer placements in detention or the Department of Youth Services (DYS).

Keeping the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) Coordinator position in place allows the program to continue improving policies, daily practices, and services based on JDAI principles.
