Payments
We do not expect parents to pay the fee for their child. One of the primary focuses of the Court Diversion Program and the Teen Alcohol Safely Program is to promote and teach responsibility.

This starts with the participant being responsible for the fee. Even young people (ages 10 and older can be referred to Court Diversion) are expected to be responsible for their fee.

If parents need to provide a loan for the fee, our expectation is that the participant will pay it back either by earning money in a job or by performing some other activity the parents find acceptable to reimburse them for the cost.

Often the Review Board will ask for verification this has happened from the parent as a contract term.

Confidentiality
The Court Diversion Program and the Teen Alcohol Safety Program are confidential by law. If you child is over 18 years old, we can not talk to a parent or legal guardian regarding their specific case without a signed release.

If your child is under 18 years old we will tell you what is happening with their case.  However, if a participant has turned 18 years old since entering into Court Diversion we are no longer able to talk to you about the details of their case unless the criteria below is met.

If a participant in either program is over 18 years old and you would like us to discuss their case with you, they must sign a release for us to do so. Releases may not be faxed to our office, we only accept the original.
