I AM A FAMILY MEMBER

Juvenile Field Services offers rehabilitative services that utilize evidence-based trauma informed, family focused strategies to aid in the wellness and rehabilitation of youth and families who find themselves involved in the juvenile justice system.

Many of the division’s programs, such as truancy and prevention services, focus on diverting at-risk youth from entering the juvenile justice system. Other programs address substance abuse, keep youth actively participating in school and reuniting families.

The Juvenile Facilities Division is comprised of the Juvenile Hall and Camp Wilmont Sweeney, both located in the city of San Leandro. The Juvenile Hall is a 24-hour secure detention facility that houses youth awaiting court. Juvenile Institution Officers supervise youth who receive various services, including academic programming, job training, medical care, and mental health services, among others. Camp Sweeney houses adolescent males who are ordered into the facility by the Alameda County Juvenile Court. The program model emphasizes personal growth and provides wraparound services including, education, behavioral health, and drug treatment services.

Adult Field Services provides resources, rehabilitative services, and support for justice involved adults who are supervised by the Probation Department or participating in a diversion program.  Our goal is to help clients create and follow an individualized plan that leads to their success and a safer community. The plan may include the utilization of job training, housing assistance, medical care, and mental health services to support the client.

Consistent with Alameda County’s Vision 2026 public safety goal of reentry support— which promotes reducing reentry barriers, developing wraparound services, supporting family reunification, leveraging community partnerships, and providing employment and other pre-release opportunities—we recognize the nature and breadth of needs among our clients and strive to provide a comprehensive approach to reentry that begins prior to reentry and follows a client through their reentry and discharge

Through strong partnerships with local organizations and agencies, the Department offers a range of risk reduction and transition services to its clients, including to those supervised by the County as a result of Assembly Bill (AB) 109.
