ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Enhancement Program was created to provide additional support and opportunities for youth impacted by trauma. Through partnerships with professionals in the community, FCJC of Kaua‘i helps remove barriers and connect youth with meaningful resources and experiences that support healing, resilience, and the ability to grow and thrive.

WHO CAN SUBMIT A REQUEST?

The Enhancement Program is available through requests submitted by professionals supporting youth impacted by trauma.

Requests must be submitted by professionals such as social workers, therapists, advocates, case managers, MDT members and other professionals working with the youth.

Youth may be considered for support if they:

  • Are between the ages of 0-17; and

  • Have experienced abuse, neglect, or other traumatic experiences

Priority is given to youth who have participated in a forensic interview or medical exam through the Children’s Justice Center of Kaua‘i. Other requests are based on the circumstances, needs, and potential benefit to the youth.
