Description (French)
Pour une période de trois ans, Prince George Urban Aboriginal Justice Society (PGUAS) offrira un milieu sécuritaire, structuré et supervisé avec des activités récréatives et de loisirs, à environ une centaine de jeunes autochtones ayant des démêlés avec le système de justice et aux prises avec des troubles mentaux et/ou psychologiques, y compris l'ETCAF et la toxicomanie. Des programmes et des interventions culturellement adaptés seront également offerts selon les besoins individuels des jeunes afin de soutenir leur guérison et leur réinsertion sociale. Les objectifs sont de réduire les taux de récidive parmi la population des jeunes autochtones de Prince George en Colombie-Britannique et de mettre à l'essai un nouveau modèle de prestations de programmes comme solution de rechange à la détention.
