The Gateway program is an 18-month commitment program for male juvenile offenders. It was originally designed to house and treat wards who could no longer be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) pursuant to SB 81. Results have been characterized by a lower recidivism rate and wards returning to the community with a GED, employment, or enrolled in community college. This program has been described as a more modern and effective approach to juvenile rehabilitation. The Gateway program received a National Association of Counties (NACo) award in 2012.

Community based services include Functional Family Therapy, Intensive Probation Supervision, 24/7 case management and peer counseling.

JUVENILE JUSTICE COMMUNITY REINTEGRATION (JJCR)

Minors who have been identified with behavioral health issues who are detained in a County of San Bernardino JDAC and will be returning to the community are referred for JJCR services. While the minor is still detained, the family and minor are consulted regarding the minor’s history, strengths, and needs as well as the family’s special circumstances. Aftercare programs are sought to support the minor’s smooth transition into the community. Individual case planning, home visits, and referrals are essential components of the program and include academics, vocational skills, job related skills, legal resources, and information.
