Aftercare Services

The aftercare services component of the Focus House program is designed to help youth successfully transition back into their home, school, and community. Aftercare services are offered to all Ogle County youth exiting the program. These services, generally provided for at least six months after the child returns home, include individual, group and family counseling. Progress is closely monitored by the Aftercare Counselor and includes visits to the home and school.

To successfully complete the aftercare component, youth must meet program expectations such as: participating in an extra-curricular activity, meeting school expectations, following rules in their homes and, of course, following all probation and court orders.
