Community Support Services

The Community Support Team offers intensive, short term and flexible support to 12-17-year-old persons in conflict with the law. A range of individualized programs are offered based on their criminogenic needs as well as the youth and family’s strengths and resources. The CST Specialists cover topics including emotion management, problem-solving, life skills, crisis support, family support, substance use counselling, school and employment support, positive relationship building, and other areas of need. Referrals are made by youth probation officers. The CST serves six county regions including Hastings, Prince Edward, Lennox & Addington, Frontenac, Lanark and Leeds & Grenville.
