CACJ works with community and justice systems to provide programs that preserve human dignity, restore, heal and empower individuals. Youth Aid Panel allows youthful offenders to make amends to victims and the community. Pre-trial Release Program works with defendants to keep families and jobs intact. The Mediation Program helps parties resolve their own differences outside of court. Our most recently added program, Community Conferencing, works to assist in neighborhood, workplace, and community disputes by bringing involved parties together to achieve restorative outcomes for all involved. A highlight of this program is providing reentry support to those transitioning back into often challenging family and/or community dynamics. This year CACJ will also be launching a youth mental health counseling pilot program thanks to the support of the 2024 Centre Foundation Field of Interest Grant, this pilot project will serve at risk youth and their families by providing free mental health counseling. Your gifts, through Centre Gives, are vital to the sustainability of each of our restorative programs.
