Student - Community Justice Multidisciplinary Team

Program Overview

The Community Justice Multidisciplinary Team is comprised of the Youth Mental Health Court Worker, the Anger Management Program, the Transitional Youth Justice Worker, as well as the Reintegration Program.  Students completing their placements with the Community Justice Multidisciplinary Team will either be working with the Youth Mental Health Court Worker or the Transitional Youth Justice Worker.  The Youth Mental Health Court program redirects youth with mental health issues who are in conflict with the law towards programs and services that they, along with their families, need.  The Transitional Youth Justice program provides support for youth transitioning from custody or detention back into their community.

Students will have the opportunity to conduct complete assessments, facilitate referrals, prepare written recommendations for service plan, facilitate client meetings, advocate for clients, maintain both electronic and physical files, maintain updated information on community resources/services, recommend post program services, facilitate access to community resources and services as well as maintain ongoing contact with all professionals involved (lawyers, courts, probation, police services), as well as facilitating life skill development.
