Description:
The Yukon Community Wellness Court (CWC) is a therapeutic court that addresses criminal behavior by concentrating on the underlying criminogenic problems without necessarily having to resort to a carceral sentence. This program provides participants with a Wellness Plan, addressing issues through a multi-disciplinary team approach that lasts for as long as 24 months. Upon conclusion of the Wellness Plan, the accused then returns to court for final sentencing, where their performance is taken into consideration. Attached to the Court is the Justice Wellness Centre, where participants go to see their Probation Officer, to do "check-ins" and to develop their Wellness Plan.
