A Positive Step of Monroe County A Positive Step of Monroe County, Inc (APSMC) is a community based non-profit organization dedicated The youth Case Manager ratio is 10:1.

Family Therapy - APSMC provides in-home family therapy to the youth and their families through the use of the Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) Evidence Based Curricula. The University of Miami provides all BSFT training and supervision. APSMC is currently serving 24 youths and their families in Monroe County. Case Management Services - Juveniles are assigned a Case Manager as soon as they are admitted to APSMC. APSMC is now servicing 10 youths on Conditional Release with case management. Each Case Manager is the point of contact for all stakeholders, including the Juvenile Probation Officer (JPO) involved in the youth’s acclimation into mainstream society and helps to coordinate the following:


• School
• Mental Health
• Urine Screens
• Jobs
• Restitution
• Community Services
• Gender Specific

Re-entry into the Monroe County School System - APSMC works closely with the liaison for the Monroe County School District. The liaison starts to monitor the youngster’s academics from the time of their first court appearance until they are released from the juvenile commitment program. The benefit of having a school liaison is to guarantee the youth remains in school and/or attends academic classes while in a commitment program and returns to school after release. APSMC is in monthly contact with the youth and their families while the youth is in commitment. Once the youth is released, APSMC coordinates re-entry into the Monroe County school system within 24 hours of their return home (excluding weekends and holidays). Mental health and substance abuse counseling services for the youth and their families - APSMC is not a mental health program. However, during the intake if mental health services are indicated or during the monthly contacts with the youth’s commitment program mental health follow-up is recommended, we refer to one of the mental health clinics in the county. Additionally, APSMC has sought out private providers and arranged a sliding scale fee that APSMC pays if the wait is long at one of the local clinics. APSMC only provides substance abuse education and relapse prevention; we now refer serious cases to the local mental health clinics. Support is offered through APSMC and the 12-Step community. Tutorial services for clients in need of additional academic assistance - APSMC provides academic assistance through the Monroe County School District or through volunteers. We also assist the youth with learning materials.
