Published purpose

The Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia (EFMNS) proposes to address existing youth justice service gaps in rural areas of Mainland Nova Scotia through their project titled “Enhancing Rehabilitative and Reintegration Interventions for Criminalized Youth in Yarmouth, Antigonish and Truro”. More specifically, programming will focus on providing individualized case management and intervention plans, including gendered and cultural supports, mental health services, educational assistance, and housing access services. Such programming will be delivered through multidisciplinary-multiagency approach aimed at improving interagency and stakeholder collaboration across different youth related support sectors.
