Break The Cycle

Agreement Date:

Jul 29, 2026 - Apr 30, 2027

Description:

Break The Cycle is a culturally responsive public safety initiative that improves rehabilitation outcomes for Black individuals who are incarcerated or recently released from federal prison. The project addresses well-documented gaps in correctional programming by delivering trauma-informed, culturally adapted interventions that target core criminogenic needs linked to recidivism, including employment instability, antisocial attitudes, substance-related coping, and impaired impulse regulation.

Organization:

Public Safety Canada

Expected Results:

This project targets core criminogenic needs, employment instability, antisocial attitudes, substance-related coping, and challenges with impulse regulation shown by research to drive recidivism. Through the ETA program, job readiness training, trauma workshops, counselling, trauma/neuro-informed assessments, and legal consultation, participants strengthen emotional regulation, decision-making, and parole readiness. A coordinated, multidisciplinary approach addresses both basic and criminogenic needs, reduces institutional misconduct, supports conditional release, and promotes pro-social behaviour, contributing to safer reintegration and improved public safety outcomes.
