Youth Services – Youth Justice
Our Services
The mandate of the Youth Services programs is to provide services to youth and their families who have been identified as having struggles with behavioral, social, emotional and/or mental health.
The Youth Justice Program works closely with youth to help them meet the conditions of their probation order and increase their ability to develop positive relationships with their family and community thereby lowering rates of recidivism. This one-to-one outreach support aims to support youth in achieving goals of reduced risk-taking behaviour and involvement with the criminal justice system by using client-centred, strengths-based approaches.
The Youth Justice program provides intensive supervision and individualized one-to-one support to youth involved or at risk of becoming involved in the youth justice system. Youth Justice Outreach workers provide positive role-modelling, connect youth with pro-social activities, and support youth in developing emotion regulation and coping skills.
Services may take the form of transportation, curfew checks, job seeking, school support, mentorship, parent teen mediation, youth agreements and supervision of community service hours. Referrals to the program are made through youth probation officers. The Youth Justice program works with youth aged 12 to 18 years of age in the South Surrey/White Rock area and provides several hours a week of support.
This program receives funding from the Ministry of Children and Family Development.
