A health program of the Justice Resource Initiative (JRI). They provide a full range of primary care, mental health and substance abuse counseling, HIV counseling, testing and risk reduction reinforcement, and other clinical and social services to young people, generally between the ages of 13 and 29. Their primary focus is on persons who fall outside of more traditional healthcare settings for a variety of reasons, homelessness; involvement in street life and the sex industry; placement in a residential facility or group home because of serious social and behavioral dysfunction, multiple placements with DSS so that medical care and healthful life style have been disrupted; and being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender and, therefore, at risk of not receiving culturally and clinically appropriate services.
