Trestle Programs | A better system. A better community. A better you.

Programs:

Pre-Trial Release Supervision

At the initial detention or first appearance hearing a youth can be placed on a bond and Court ordered to be placed under Pretrial Release Supervision. A Pretrial Release Case Manager is assigned, and an intake is completed. Upon intake the youth may be placed on an Electronic Home Monitor (EHM) or Global Positioning System (GPS) which is most often Court ordered otherwise these are used as supervision tools at the discretion of the Case Manager. If necessary, a Urine Analysis is collected to determine use and ongoing need for testing and services. The Case Managers are also responsible for community supervision according to the contact standards of the Program. The visits include ongoing assessment to include community safety and referrals to services and resources based on need. For youth who score moderate or high on the CJRA prescreen the Case Manager completes a full screen to assist in case planning. Case Planning also involves collaboration with the family, other professionals and consultation with Pre-Trial Supervisors. Incentives can be used as part of case planning and goal setting for the youth to encourage small wins to ensure success in an area in which a youth may struggle. If a youth is in detention while under Pre-Trial Release Supervision the Case Manager is responsible for continued assessment and connection to services.

The Rural Intervention Specialized Case Manager (RISC)

This is a collaboration funded position between CYDC, the JAC and the local HB1451 in Lincoln and Elbert Counties. The role of the Case Manager is to represent each agency by providing community assessments and case management through the JAC and HB1451 for youth referred by the community, law enforcement, schools, parents or the County Department of Human Services (DHS). The Case Manager also provides Detention Screening and Assessment as well as Pre-Trial Supervision representative of CYDC.

Collaborative Management Programs (CMP)

House Bill 1451 was passed in 2004 to establish optional collaborative management programs at the county level that would improve outcomes for children, youth, and families involved with multiple agencies. The goal is to serve our youth collaboratively to help ensure a better outcome in the juvenile justice system. In the 18th Judicial District, we are happy to partner with each of counties in this effort.
