Today's youth face the biggest challenge in managing the pressure to succeed in every area of life and finding time to do it all. The society we live in that is well into the new millennium started to recognize serious concerns that affect the youth. Some issues have always been there but there have been new obstacles beginning to surface in the eyes of the public. Today, about 21% of high school students admit drug use and 41% report drinking alcohol. Schools play a major role in the formation of the young person's foundation for building a life and it is reasonable to expect that the places for learning should be safe. Unfortunately, in the last decade 284 kids were murdered due to school violence – these were shootings, stabbings, fighting and suicides.

Today's growth of juvenile's and youth's incarceration increased substantially and more importantly it is concerning how little attention and resources have been given to meet the reentry needs of justice. These youth have distinct needs. In recognition of these differences, and to reduce the harms of incarceration and the likelihood of re-incarceration, Dr. Khanna's Returning Youth Initiative implemented a solution driven care to restore their lives and renter the society with proper social and economic recognition. The initiative also focuses on preventing high risk young adults from incarceration by providing them beneficial solutions.
