New Day Diversion Program

The New Day Diversion Program receives referrals directly from the State Attorney’s Office or Office of Civil Citation.  New Day provides a full range of integrated services to the residents of Broward County, Florida and is funded by the Children’s Services Council of Broward County.

The New Day Diversion Program provides a highly-structured diversion and civil citation alternatives that are offense-appropriate for public safety, with interventions that decrease the likelihood of re-offending.  The New Day Program will incorporate accountability activities, Brief Strategic Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, family support services, restorative justice, case management and youth development activities that strengthen protective factors and reduce risk factors that lead to delinquent and maladaptive behavior.

The New Day Diversion Program serves juvenile offenders with special needs and behavioral health conditions, including youth with serious delinquency histories and behavioral health conditions.
