It is the intent of the Legislature that programs serving children and adolescents should be established under this chapter. Such programs should follow the guidelines and principles set forth in this chapter and in addition should meet the following criteria unique to the population to be served: (a) The programs should, to the maximum extent feasible, be designed so as to reduce the disruption and promote the reintegration of the family unit of which the child is a part. (b) The programs should have an education focus and should demonstrate specific linkage with community education resources. (c) The programs should contain a specific followup component.
