Youth Justice

The Youth Justice program is for First Nation, Inuit and Métis youth between the ages of 12 – 17 who are in conflict with the law. We provide culturally-based supports and healing approaches as well as assist with any rehabilitation and reintegration needs on an individualized basis.

Types of Services

• Introduction and access to ceremonial and cultural activities and events
• Guidance and teachings with Elders and/or traditional people
• Support, advocacy, resources, and transportation assistance as needed to mainstream services
• Health and wellness support

Guidelines for Youth

• Must be First Nation, Inuit and/or Métis
• Must be between the ages of 12-17
• Experiencing circumstances that may lead to involvement with the justice system or have been found guilty and are on probation, conditional supervision, community supervision or custody/detention and preparing for discharge

How to Access

Our supports and services are culturally-based to address the mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of Indigenous youth living either on- or off-reserve. We accept referrals from anyone in the community–probation officers, youth diversion workers, family members, prevention workers and/or band representatives.
