Youth diversion programs typically attempt to help struggling teens who have had contact with the police avoid more formal involvement in the juvenile justice system (that is, juvenile courts and correctional facilities).  Typical youth diversion programs offer first-time offenders individual and family counseling, links to other needed services (such as psychiatric medication), and education.  Teens enrolled in diversion programs typically meet with probation officers who provide the court with periodic progress reports.  Teens who comply with youth diversion program requirements may be able to avoid formal court adjudication and intervention.Explain
