John Howard Society of York Region

John Howard Society of York Region’s (JHSYR) new program, WRAP: We Rise Against Pressure, complements their existing programs that prevent youth becoming involved in the criminal legal system. JHSYR will hire and equip two new case managers that will provide case management, court support/navigation, mentorship, and referrals to other supports. This funding will remove barriers for youth who are at risk of being involved in the criminal legal system and expand their service timelines for youth who have exhausted other service timelines and still need support, providing continuity of services.
