Description:
The “Youth Reintegration Program” is a pilot project that will provide evidence-based case management support to youth in conflict with the law in the Regional Municipality of York. The program will specifically target justice-involved Indigenous, Black, and other racialized youth by providing them with reintegration support to reduce their recidivism. Through community partnerships, the project will help youth establishing positive support systems, increasing social and emotional learning skills, accessing healthcare for physical and mental health needs, addressing food insecurity, acquiring stable housing and employment, and obtaining education. Ultimately, the community as a whole will benefit as youth who are given the skills and resources to make positive choices are less likely to become further involved in the criminal justice system, thus contributing to a safer community.
