JRI’s Community-Based Care opens New Bedford office

Justice Resource Institute has opened an office for its Community-Based Services programs at Howland Place, 651 Orchard St.

JRI’s Community-Based Services programs offer in-home individualized and family-focused services, including in-home family therapy, in-home behavioral support, parent/caregiver support and skill building and coaching/modeling for youth. Clients are referred by the parents/guardians, courts, schools, state agencies and health care professionals.

“The trauma-informed care provided by JRI helps children and families who have a history of trauma in their lives and are in need of support services to help them cope and heal. By having an office in New Bedford, we are now able to provide these support services for children and families in the Greater New Bedford area, whether it be at home, in school or in their community,” said Deb Oliveira, vice president for JRI’s Community-Based Services program.
