Justice Programs

Staff deliver quality programs in a manner that reflects the social justice principles of participation, equity, access and respect. Services include intensive outreach support, case management, supported accommodation, drug and alcohol counselling, recreation programs and employment/training programs. Our adult and youth justice work contributes to regional and state-wide advisory forums and networks and assists in a more comprehensive approach to justice through partnerships with government agencies and other service providers, as well as to legislation, policy development and advocacy.
