State Specific-CT

JDW serves women at risk of incarceration in New Britain, Bristol, and New Haven courts.  Comprehensive treatment and support services promote recovery among women with histories of trauma through immediate access to a trauma informed and comprehensive system of care.  Services include treatment for trauma, mental illness, and substance abuse as well community support services and limited transitional housing.

In addition to referrals from court, JDW accepts referrals from Probation and Parole.  The program achieves significant reduction in incarceration and in future arrests.
