YELLOWHEAD TRIBAL COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS SOCIETY (YTCCS)

Published purpose

Mentoring support is being offered for the First Nations of Alexander and Alexis to provide quality, timely, and cost effective criminal courtwork services focused on FASD clients with complex needs. Mentoring supports and program services and priorities are community-based, community defined, culturally relevant and FASD informed. Mentors link with court workers and the courts to further their understanding of individuals with complex needs and expand potential options for court interventions and community support. The intent is to improve access to eligible services; increase effective engagement with community based services; and ultimately to reduce these individuals' level of involvement with justice services.
