The Clinton County JCAP program saw its third class graduate on Friday with five new graduates completing the 12-week course.
The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office announced on Friday that the JCAP participants were honored in a ceremony on Friday that included facilitators, family, staff and volunteers for their graduation from the 12-week course.
The graduates learned life skills and participated in evidence-based and faith-based programming to include matrix, MRT, financial literacy, anger management, communications, parenting and more.
“These men have been given the tools and resources to continue being successful in their recoveries,” the department released. “We wish them all the very best, and we will always be here to support them.”
