Life Connections Inc. has developed The –D-A-S-H- 
Juvenile Court Diversion Program which provides first time youthful offenders between the ages of 12 and 16 with an educational experience. The program educates these teens and their families about their offense, and how it affects them personally, as well as their family and their community. The program will also inform the business and school communities, as to the benefits of an court diversion program used as an alternative or addition to incarceration and/or community service. The
–D-A-S-H-  program provides an outlet for identifying the causes of such behaviors and reaching a common resolution to redirect such behavior toward positive activities.

DJJDP and Life Connections, Inc. the administrator of the –D-A-S-H- Juvenile Court Diversion Program examined the data from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2006 to determine the recidivism of the youth served in the program. The Client tracking data for this period was compared with the information on these juveniles in the DJJDP/NCJOIN system.
