Oh my bad.
I like the idea of them working closely with actual victims of violence and/or family/friends of victims; and having counseling extended into the community, since it will likely be a part of their treatment wherever they're placed. Community service is good too.
Also having some type of mentor who can help them realize their potential. I've worked with a lot of female juveniles who were in the mindset they'd never be sh*t probably because that's all they heard from a young age. An important part of their success is methodically instilling confidence in them and helping them to recognize what they're good at while developing relationships within the community.
Something I didn't really learn until kinda recently. A lotta people don't realize how powerful words are & how many people are still affected as adults by words they heard as kids.
