Nebraska Youth Justice Initiative

In-home services begin on day one of a youth's admission. Throughout the youth's stay, families and others in a support role maintain relationships with youth through frequent communication and visits both at the facility and in the community. Specially trained in-home services staff work closely with families to create a transition plan, ensuring family readiness and support structures are in place for a youth's successful transition home. Radius staff continue to provide direct assistance to families during and after their residential stay.

Radius operates an interim-program school under rule 18 by the nebraska department of education. All youth living at radius attend school within the residential facility in one of three classrooms with no more than 8 students. Radius teachers utilize an evidence-based curriculum designed for youth facing serious emotional disturbances. Through personalized education plans, students are able to recover credits transferable to their home schools.
