Mission

Alternatives helps families stay safe. We offer counseling and education for people at-risk of, or currently experiencing, life problems. This includes criminal justice, parole services, or child welfare involvement. The primary focuses of services are parenting, substance abuse, anger (or other emotion) management, and mental health issues. By providing low cost, accessible services to people experiencing life and behavior problems, Alternatives intends to reduce current suffering and reduce the inter-generational of problem behaviors.

About

During 2018-2019, Alternatives provided services to 594 individuals who received 5,700 service contacts (primarily group). Twice as many participants successfully completed their program as failed their first attempt will return and succeed. For example, of the 144 receiving services for domestic violence during the year, 11% are still in the program and over 67% successfully completed or transferred to another program. This means that 24% of this challenging population (or the moment at least) have dropped out of treatment.
