Our Process
MYSI works to transform the juvenile justice reform process from a traditional correctional approach into a rehabilitative and therapeutic model. Our goals are to make positive long-lasting changes in the lives of the youth we touch. This is all made possible by the approach we use to create this model.
In order to determine where MYSI?s assistance is needed we work with our clients to assess and evaluate their facilities and current reform system in place. The step by step process we use to transform their current juvenile justice system is outlined below.
