Wellbeing & Equity Innovations Inc. is proposing a Family-Based Diversion and Alternative Prosecution (D/AP) program designed to alleviate the traumatic impact of justice involvement on parents, children, and their families in Marion County, Indiana. The initiative seeks to reduce the duration of justice system involvement and its associated negative effects by implementing a comprehensive, trauma-informed care framework that caters to the needs of adult parents and primary caregivers under community supervision, in addition to providing programming support to their family members and their minor aged children. Key components of this program include therapy, support groups, and skills-based training.
