Gerry spearheaded the creation of Shuman Center Studio Blue at Shuman Center, a resident run art space where youth learn art, craft and trade skills and then use the acquired skills to benefit the community through public and non-profit participation. Youth utilize their discovered talents constructively contributing to their positive development by building self-worth, purpose and esteem as well as positioning themselves as valuable members of their communities through their contributions to community oriented projects.
In Studio Blue partnered with Construction Junction and opened is second location where Florida continues to work with residents once released. Shuman Center residents will create 15 of the 60 poems and will create all 60 of the artworks that will creatively illustrate and compliment the poems. Live Creatively! The Aftercare Probation Officers are generally assigned to the case at least six months prior to the youth's targeted release date.
Typically, the Probation Officer will contact the youth at the facility on a monthly basis and develop a plan for the youth's return to the community. In addition, the family, school, employer, and victim are also contacted on a regular basis.
Within days, a clinician from WPIC begins a thorough diagnostic evaluation of the offender, typically two to three sessions each lasting approximately two hours. Emerging from this evaluation is a plan for treatment that may include individual and family therapy, mental health wrap-around services, home and school contacts, support groups, and medication.
Treatment sessions are held at the clinic, home, school, or other community setting. The offender's family is included in the treatment whenever possible. Probation Officers in the SSU intensely supervise juveniles in the program, personally contacting each offender two to three times weekly at home, school, or in the community. In addition, the SSU Probation Officers maintain regular contact with the youth's family, school, employer, and victim.
The officers also facilitate weekly group treatment sessions in their Northside office. The officers maintain a flexible schedule; working from noon to pm at least three days per week to ensure their many duties are fulfilled. SSU Probation Officers closely monitor all conditions of supervision and promptly respond to any violation. Serious noncompliance results in further court action. The SSU incorporates a highly structured, and balanced approach that enhances public safety, emphasizes victim restoration, and provides rehabilitation to the offender.
