Diversion Program
This program accepts referrals from Perth County OPP and Stratford Police Services as an alternative to charges and traditional court involvement for first time or non-violent offences. The goal of the program is to coordinate an individualized plan with the youth and their family that makes amends to the victim in a timely way. Includes coordination of the TAPP-C program (Arson Prevention program) and referrals can be made by phone/fax to:
Diversion Coordinator 519-271-9454 Fax: 519-273-0892
Youth Justice Committee
This program, funded by the Ministry of the Attorney General, uses trained volunteers to hold young people in conflict with the law accountable for their actions in an inclusive manner. Victims are encouraged to participate, harm is acknowledged and all those involved begin to rebuild their relationships with community integrity. Priority from the Crown Attorney. For information about volunteering, contact: Coordinator at 519-271-9454 x 232 (Perth only)
Youth Justice Dedicated to Probation
Mental Health staff work in conjunction with child and youth workers to provide assessment, treatment and support to youth and their families serving a probation order and referred by their probation officer for specific needs. This service is similar to the Intensive “CSI” but reserved for probation referrals.
