Initial referral is evaluated by the project director, the consulting psychologist, and the project parole officer according to the criteria of availability, appropriateness, and potential. Those who are accepted and agree to participate enter the program for a minimum of 90 days. A comprehensive physical exam and vocational assessment are completed during the first week. A client is assigned to a work-therapy position commensurate with his abilities and interests. In addition to the development of positive work experiences, the program addresses the psychological, educational, and social needs of the clients. Each client participates in 1-hour individual or group counseling sessions three evenings a week. Support services facilitate educational development. Social activities are encouraged to develop interpersonal relationships, self-confidence, and a sense of teamwork. After 3 months in the program, a client may qualify for a job in the community. Clients are assisted with job interviews and job development during a 2-day intensive program. If a job is obtained, the client continues to live at the facility while working in the community. He is monitored and evaluated on personal responsibility, job performance, savings, and social adjustment. If adjustment is satisfactory within 90 days, the client may apply for community residence. A program counselor assists him in obtaining an appropriate permanent home. Followup assistance is provided. Over 2 years of operation, the program has successfully reintegrated 26 clients into the community in self-supporting, independent-living roles. Tabular data on participants are provided, along with 24 references.
