It’s been just over a week since our last round of Diversion ended for this session. Our program requires parents to come with their child for the sessions. When we first meet parents, we usually get….

“I didn’t get in trouble but I feel like I’m being punished.”

“Why do I have to be here too?”

“I’ve got other kids at home, a job, etc., this is going to be hard”

Here’s what a couple parents had to say after our last class.

“I’m thankful for all of the facilitators my son and I had the opportunity to work with! Each of them had a positive impact on the outcome in the weeks we were here! I hope that in the years to follow they continue to make an impact on all those who come to this program! I will miss you all, thank you!”

“Everyone was great! Very helpful. I appreciate the time everyone puts in here. Specially Bobbie Jo reaching out to my child a few times a week for months.”

One of the great things about our program is teaching skills that correspond to what the youth are learning with their facilitators. A lot of the time, our program is NOT what you think it’s going to be. Our staff wouldn’t be here if they didn’t believe in what we do. 💕

Yesterday we had the pleasure of working with Let’s Build Beds in Maumee!! Our team of youth and adults got into it cutting wood and doing some branding on these future beds!

Did you know that this organization provides beds to kids within the community that don’t have one? Regardless of the reason, this amazing organization spends countless hours to give all the kids they possibly can a bed. Please consider volunteering or donating!

Next week they have their Bed Blitz!! They’re heading out to get 600 KIDS a bed that have been waiting on it! With sheets, mattresses, pillows, etc.

Saturday we went out to volunteer with the Toledo Metroparks at Swan Creek! We helped remove some non-native plants and planted new ones in their Butterfly sect!

We learned about some new plants and some good things to do to help the butterflies! 🪴🦋

The Anne E. Casey Foundation published an article in 2022 regarding research about a Los Angeles County expanding their juvenile youth diversion programs. This snip it is an interesting find regarding the chance of the youth being charged with another crime related to pre and post arrests for diversion!

At Spring Green, we help guide the youth to make better choices and really understand their thought patterns, emotional responses, and really just learn about ✨YOU✨. Intakes are happening at the end of the month, classes start just after Labor Day!

It’s bittersweet, this week we are wrapping up another round of Diversion class! We’ll miss seeing our families, but at the same time we see the changes and the growth in each family throughout our time together.

Today we WORKED HARD! Our staff and students volunteered at Nature's Nursery to fill dirt in their raised beds and trimmed bushes and cleaned up/organized areas at this facility! While we were there, several community members came and dropped off some furry friends they found including baby possums and bunnies! Unfortunately mama got hit by a car but her babies were saved by these kind people 🫶🏻

If you are looking to help out or give back in another way, I’ve attached a wish list as the last picture!

May is the start of Mental Health Awareness Month! How will you help ??

Just a reminder: EVERYONE has mental health 🫶🏻

Things to keep in mind:
Who is your support system?
What does self-care look like for you?
What strategies do you have in place to help you cope with stressors?

Yesterday we finished up our last class! Here’s some of what the parents and kids had to say after class was finished!!

A lot of people hear “Diversion” and they have a lot of misconceptions about what our program really, truly means.

“We have better communication and more family time.”

“Loved the open communication between parents and staff”

“Learning that people are there for you. Honestly it was amazing and helped me so much”

“We actually talk about how we feel about different situations and each other instead of just ignoring and dealing with the consequences”

“My favorite topic was understanding feelings, that’s a skill I’ll use most often in my day to day life.”

We're not suggesting teens should get away with bad behavior, we're suggesting they get the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Our Youth Diversion program takes their bad choices and uses it as a chance to grow, gain insight and tools into how to change the trajectory of their future. Check us out and see why we've been so successful at that. Email [email protected] for more information. Allow them to grow through what they go through.

Something similar to what we teach to our parents…. Modeling is HUGE for our teens. They learn what they live and live what they learn. Brains are still growing and developing into your mid-20’s and early 30’s. Wisdom comes from experiences 🫶🏻

“WHAT CONSUMES YOU CREATES WHO YOU ARE” As we enter into the mid-week, we have some time for self-reflection. The things we surround ourselves with can help us grow and create who we are and who we will become. I see a lot of positive coping skills within this big ❤️ below! Let’s try and challenge ourselves to fill each puzzle piece with things that make us grow and feel happy 🧩

Time after time something we hear a lot from our parents….

“Why would they do that? I raised them better than this.”

“I caught them smoking or I caught them drinking.”

“They lied to me and broke my trust.”

All of these are valid, if we truly delved into this, let’s think back…..Did we as parents make poor choices in our teenage-hood?….

There’s A LOT going on for today’s teens with social media influences, social skills, and so much more. Remember there’s times where we have a lot going on too. Open communication is the best way to help guide your teen. Remember that little words such as “I love you,” hold powerful moments for your teens.
