The Day Support Program was developed to provide evidence based community programing for hard to serve youth in conflict with the law. The youth have lost whole or partial educational placements & require an alternative avenue to stabilize as a means to re-integrate into an education or employment placement.Many of the youth demonstrate negative responses stemming often from dysfunctional home & parenting environments. Furthermore, issues such as truancy, substance abuse, gang involvement, homelessness, criminalized behaviors and mental/emotional/ physical health concerns are significant factors that impact their education or employment opportunities. The program is designed with the premise that while youth need to be accountable for their behavior, they also require assistance in developing life skills to help them assume a positive role in the community.
