S.T.R.A.P DIVISIONS.
STRAP operates through four integrated divisions that together create a complete safety, intervention, and restoration pathway for vulnerable youth.
The Prevention Division strengthens schools, families, and communities with training, early identification strategies, and youth-led chapters.
The Intervention Division partners with juvenile courts and agencies to provide structured diversion programs, mentorship, and family stabilization tools.
The Response Division delivers rapid, trauma-informed assistance—including emergency kits, crisis advocacy, and placement coordination.
Finally, the Aftercare Division ensures long-term support through mentoring, education/employment pathways, housing navigation, and reintegration planning. Together, these divisions form a continuum of care that protects youth at every stage—from prevention to full restoration.
