About the program

The Youth Diversion Program helps children and young people to meet their court or police mandated diversionary requirements while addressing the underlying factors that contribute to offending behaviours. 

The program prioritizes resilience, self-efficacy, and accountability, ensuring young people gain the tools and confidence to make better choices and  rewrite their story.

We work in partnership with police, courts, schools and families to help young people understand harm, take accountability and build the skills they need to move forward. 

This program includes

Holistic assessment and individualised case management to meet young people where they are.
Hands on community projects, that give back and build skills
Young people are supported to self-advocate, understand harm and demonstrate real accountability
