13. Definition of Aftercare
The care, treatment, help, or supervision given to persons discharged from an institution (such as a prison or hospital).
Merriam Webster Dictionary

14. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention www.ojjdp.com
Youth who are released from institutional confinement are more likely to succeed if they have access to services that can help them thrive in a non institutional environment. When high-quality reentry and aftercare services are available, youth need to spend less time in confinement, and the overall cost of juvenile corrections can be reduced. Effective reentry/aftercare programs begin before a youth leaves the facility and involve the family and the community.

15. AFTER CARE
Follow Up
