Attendance Centre Program

The Non-Residential Attendance Centre Program is an alternative to custody servicing medium to high risk youth in the Sarnia Lambton Community. The program operates on literature-principles based of cognitive intervention, the development of positive relationships, and engagement of youth.
In brief, the program accepts all referrals emanating from the Youth Court and Probation Services. Clients are mentored one on one and receive programming tailored to their individual needs. Programming is varied and addresses numerous relevant topics including, but not limited to, anger management, positive communication skills, relationships, peers, general social development, addictions and substance abuse, etc. The curriculum also includes Aboriginal-specific programming dealing with cultural and other issues of significance to First Nations youth. Professionally developed materials and resources are used as the basis for programming, as are ones that are developed in-house. Parent participation, involvement and interest are strongly encouraged. Funding is provided by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services – Youth Justice Services.
