Adult Justice Services

Direct Accountability

This court-mandated program offers an alternative to prosecution for adults who have had limited involvement with the law. People who have been charged with minor offences can join this program and are held accountable for their actions through alternative methods, like community service or psycho-educational groups.

We do much more than simply act as their case manager to ensure that they complete their specified sanctions; by working closely with them, we are often able to identify other at-risk issues, such as homelessness or experiences with mental health, and offer support in their journey towards building a positive future.

Systems Navigation Program (SNP)

Systems navigation services play an important role in supporting a client during the critical few weeks following release. The Systems Navigator acts as a trusted guide, particularly for clients with high needs who lack social support systems being released from Maplehurst Correctional Complex. The Systems Navigator helps individuals connect with appropriate services in the community and provides on-going support and connection for individuals.

Adult Early Intervention Program 

Prior to formal charges being filed, individuals referred by the Halton Regional Police may be provided the opportunity to take responsibility for their actions through the early intervention program. This program offers targeted programs that address risk factors and build skills with the goal of preventing future offenses. 

Community Services Order Program 

As part of community-based sentencing options where an individual is mandated to perform a pre-determined number of community service hours, the program assists individuals in exploring placements to complete their hours and supervising their completion.
