Purpose:
|
This project will support 60 youth in the Manitoba Youth Centre, who have drug and gang involvement, through a justice system-based therapeutic intervention program. The project includes the development, implementation and evaluation of a tailored illicit drug treatment intervention for Aboriginal youth. The treatment intervention will offer a culturally relevant, evidence-based, multifaceted skill building program to target illicit drug use and the related problem of gang involvement. Correctional personnel will be trained to co-facilitate the manualized program.
