BEAUSEJOUR FAMILY CRISIS RESOURCE CENTRE INC.

Published purpose

In this three-year initiative, entitled “Piloting the PACIS group intervention program for justice-involved youth that engaged in sexual harm in Southeast New Brunswick” the Beausejour Family Crisis Resource Centre (BFCRC) will work collaboratively with its justice partners and diverse youth with lived experience to deliver and conduct intervention research on the Pour les Adolescents qui ont Commis des Infractions Sexuelles (PACIS) program for justice-involved youth that engaged in sexual harm. The BFCRC will target vulnerable groups such as Indigenous youth as well as those from rural communities. The anticipated outcomes of the delivery of the PACIS program for 60 youth engaged in sexual harm is a reduction in recidivism and an increase in the knowledge of the impacts of the various risk factors that lead to their offending and the development of critical skills to lead healthy interpersonal relationships into adulthood.
