Delinquent Mental Health Therapy

Article body
Mental health issues have been described as a commonality for those contained in the juvenile justice system. The youth involved in the juvenile system stem from a childhood of mistreatment, dysfunctional families, and social disadvantages including social class and educational opportunities. Thus, children lack the needed compassion or funds to properly fix their mental issues. During their trials the actors in court assess the juvenile's behavior to properly place them into the correct programs. The actors in court include the judges, probation officers, defense attorneys and their parents. Once placed into therapy their behavior is assessed by their tendencies, attendance, and willingness to participate in activities. After, the youth successfully finish their therapy programs there are noticeable improvements on behavior and emotional aspects.

Add specific examples about what therapies help juveniles improve their livelihoods after a rather unjust childhood. Do things other than therapy help to improve their livelihoods? What type of funding, if any, is given to these children? Possibly explore more into how the lack of funding affects these children.
