Our goal is to promote positive re-integration to youth in the community who have histories of Institutional Trauma, Incarceration, Substance Abuse Disorders and Victimization. Our intent is to Motivate, Inspire and Educate our program participants to achieve personal growth and cognitive improvement to become productive citizens in society by implementing Psychotherapy Group Sessions.

A world where At-Risk Youths are allotted the opportunity to achieve his or her fullest potential and make positive contributions to all aspects of life. Youths are encouraged to discover the power of education, personal artistic gifts through Psychotherapy Group Sessions. Project DART encourages youths to adopt respect, integrity, community, excellence, creativity and the power of art when attending Psychotherapy Group Sessions.

Project DART services youth around the Essex County Area but not limited to Essex County. We facilitate Specialized Therapeutic Group Sessions catered to both genders and the  age groups of 12 and up. Project DART provides transportation and provides light meals during group sessions. All participants are eligible for services.
