Regional
Rehabilitation for Children and Youth (RRCY)
The RRCY
is a facility designed to provide intensive treatment in a residential setting
for the rehabilitation of Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) whose
sentences have been suspended. It serves as a nurturing out-of-home placement
for children in need of rehabilitation.
While
the RRCY provides institutional rehabilitation for CICL, community based
rehabilitation programs are also being provided by the DSWD. Whenever
necessary, the RRCY links its center-based service to community based programs
or the programs provided in a community setting developed for the purpose of
intervention and diversion (from formal court proceedings) as well as
rehabilitation of the CICL, for final reintegration into his family and
community.
The support and participation of the immediate family and
community is valuable, hence RRCY harnesses the community support structures
outside of the family. Community structures are tapped and mobilized to
contribute their resources to the treatment and reintegration of offenders and strengthening
their families.
