St. Lawrence Youth Association Helping Youth Move Forward

The Youth Justice Family Worker provides support to the families of youth in conflict with the law to support rehabilitation and address situations that put youth at risk for re-offending. The YJFW delivers high quality support services for families of young persons aged 12-17  in conflict with the law in their homes and schools and in the community at large. We offer a range of individualized programs based on their criminogenic needs as well as the youth and family’s strengths and resources. Youth/families are referred by the Youth Diversion Program, youth who have been diverted – includes youth at imminent risk of a Truancy Charge; Probation – youth who have been charged with Truancy; Pathways – through the YMHCW as part of a Diversion Plan; SLYA TIPS Program; Situation Table for youth involved in criminal activity. The YJFW program serves Kingston (Census Metropolitan Area).
