The BARJ program is an arm of the youth justice system that provides support to youth who are at-risk for involvement in the justice system, or have been adjudicated and may or may not be on probation with DCF - Family Services.

Who We Serve

How We Impact
The purpose of this contract is to provide restorative services that focus on accountability and competency development of the youth, and community safety, while including the victims and the community in repairing the harm caused. The Balanced and Restorative Justice (BARJ) program is successful because it offers a variety of supports and services that vary depending on the individual needs of the youth and family. The BARJ program works with youth to support them in:
- Building upon their protective factors;
- Building upon their self-regulation in natural settings; and
- Not committing new offenses.

What We Do
Vermont's Area Agencies on Aging build a coordinated response to self-neglect through a variety of activities. These include raising awareness, providing education, training and case management to individuals considered self-neglecting.
Who We Serve
Adults, 60 years and older, who can be described as self-neglecting.
How We Impact
The Area Agencies on Aging respond to self-neglect referrals and provide case management services to those who are identified as self-neglecting. Case managers work with individuals who are self-neglecting to develop goals identified by the individual and by use of a risk and safety evaluation tool. Goals may be related to food, shelter, medical/mental/financial health or in other areas. To help achieve these goals community partners and resources are accessed and leveraged. Where resources don't exist, the Area Agencies on Aging work to build awareness and capacity.
