New directions to support vulnerable youth
The ‘Connect the Service Puzzle for Youth at Risk – Outreach to Mentoring’ project aims to deliver a new framework for identifying, engaging with and providing linked services to young people considered vulnerable to the risk factors associated with young offenders.
The Centre for Participation project manages this justice diversion program in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, local community service organisations, and the Horsham Rural City Council (HRCC).
Project objectives include reducing the risk of re-offending of existing youth offenders, and preventing at-risk youth from becoming engaged with the criminal justice system.
