Purpose:
|
The Recipient proposes to develop a project to support youth with mental health issues involved in the criminal justice system. Youth mentors and trained youth workers will help clients identify, develop and maintain good mental health strategies through group counselling, art therapy and peer mentorship. The project also aims to reduce the stigma associated with seeking mental health support by providing educational outreach opportunities for youth to share their experiences with mental health issues in therapy with peers and through art exhibits. This project is supported by Alberta Government and involves various community agencies.
