Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Course (ADSAC)
Qualified staff provide DUI assessments and facilitate 10-hour and 24-hour classes, additional outpatient substance abuse services, and referrals to other services or resources, as needed.
"ITS MY LIFE" Program -formerly known as First-time Offender or FTOP
STEP focuses on youth involved with or at risk of becoming involved with the legal system for the first time. This program is parent and child-centred, educational in nature, and designed to equip youth and caregivers to handle difficult decisions, manage their feelings, communicate appropriately with authority figures, and develop pro-social skills. By getting you involved in this program, Y&FS can help equip these youth to handle difficult decisions that will keep them from becoming further involved in the Juvenile Justice System.
Supervised Visitation
Services are provided to individual families who have been ordered to have visitation with their child(ren) supervised by a neutral third party. Must have a court order to participate.
