Adult Probation Services
Female Probation Program
The Community-Based Transitional Services for Female Offenders Program began in October of 2003 with pass-through grant funding through the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority. The goals of the program are to provide psychoeducational services for adult female offenders, to address prior issues of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, and to provide a two month aftercare component to increase participants’ usage of treatment resources. The grant program represents a joint effort by the Adult Probation Division and the Psychological Services Division to help women with gender-specific circumstances, such as sexual abuse, assaults, and domestic abuse.
