The Link & Option Center, Inc. Helps Troubled Youth Manage Anger And Avoid Jail

Twenty years ago, when Ms. Twin Green realized so many youth were entangled in the criminal justice system for issues related more to mental health and anger management issues rather than to willful misconduct, she set about to help them change behavior in order to change the course of their lives. The Link & Option Center, Inc. Envisions an integrated system of care built on collaborative relationships that promote positive decision making. It links troubled individuals to alternative, more constructive methods of handling problems, rather than the punitive measures of school suspension an youth detention centers, setting them up for a life of incarceration. Now celebrating its 20th year, The Link Option Center, Inc., provides a model for intervention and correction, rather than punishment, to eliminate problem behavior.
