Developed by Dr. Ross Greene, CPS is a trauma‑informed, evidence‑based approach that supports caregivers and youth in understanding and addressing challenging behaviors by focusing on unmet needs and skill‑building rather than punishment.

SOS is proud to lead the Carroll County Juvenile Diversion (CCJD) program. CCJD is an intervention and prevention program designed to support youth in taking accountability, implementing positive changes, and continuing on to success. Using restorative justice and other evidence-based practices through a whole-person lens, our Diversion Team empowers adolescents to begin to address root causes in behavior by connecting them to long term resources for continued support on their journeys. Understanding the lasting impacts criminal justice involvement can have on an individual, the mission of CCJD is to reduce the number of adolescents who receive charges by providing them with the support and tools needed to successfully complete diversion.
