NB Department of Health

115 Connaught AvenueMoncton,NB E1C 3P4(506) 856-3262

The Youth Treatment Program (YTP) seeks to respond effectively to young people with severe behavioural problems throughout NB. The program is delivered by multidisciplinary regional teams that support the primary workers. If need be, those teams can make use of the provincial consultation and assessment service at the Pierre Caissie Centre in Moncton.

NB has 14 regional teams. Each team is made up of five professionals representing one of the five provincial agencies involved in the treatment of conduct-disordered youth.

A provincial team offers consultation, education, training, and coordination services to the 14 regional teams and the various provincial agencies.

When all community resources have been exhausted in the attempt to assist a child or adolescent and his or her family, the regional team may request admission to the Pierre Caissie Centre for an assessment by the provincial team and follow-up recommendations.

NB Department of Social Development

Services Partnership includes the Provincial Committee and 10 Local Committees. The Social Development Department facilitates the formation of a committee of community youth stakeholders who form cooperative partnerships designed to meet the developmental needs of local youth. Committees are an inclusive network of federal and provincial departments, community and youth serving agencies, and private sector representatives who seek to provide a continuum of programs and services to local youth. The partnership seeks to identify needs, available resources, and innovative approaches to meeting the gaps in service delivery. Member organizations often partner to jointly fund youth initiatives using their existing funds as there are no funds attached to this program.

Youth Engagement Initiative

The New Brunswick Youth Engagement Initiative is a youth led and adult supported initiative that attempts to meaningfully engage youth in community-based activities that contribute to the development of protective factors that prevent or reduce problem substance use, bullying, criminal activity, etc. and promote resiliency and positive mental health among all youth.

Intensive Support Program

NB Department of Public Safety

The intent of Intensive Support Program is to provide a young person an alternative to custody. This program may be a condition of a Probation Order, Deferred Custody Order, or Conditional Supervision Order it is intended for a young person who: -would likely receive a custodial disposition upon sentencing;-are assessed by a needs/risk assessment as high risk to re-offend; and along with their family, are motivated to participate in the program.When a young person is sent to custody, it is sometimes difficult to address the contributing factors of the young person's criminal behaviour in a holistic manner that includes young person and family dynamics. Greater emphasis is now being placed on community interventions, which target the young person within his/her natural environment. The strength of the program depends on the support and direction of the facilitation team, innovative assessment and intervention techniques, and the delivery of high quality intensive services focusing on the young person and their families.

Education and Early Childhood Development;

Health and Wellness; Community Services, Seniors and

Labour; and Justice and Public Safety.

The review has two main objectives:1. to gauge the perceived efficiency and effectiveness of the way services are delivered to children and youth on Prince Edward Island;2. and to identify the best practices, both provincially and nationally, on integrating these services.The review will seek stakeholder input. It will identify themes through a combination of this stakeholder input, a review of current models and services and government reports.

SchoolsPlus is part of Nova Scotia’s child and youth strategy, Our Kids Are Worth It. The strategy responds to Commissioner Nunn’s recommendation to improve co-ordination and collaboration in our delivery of programs and services for children, youth, and families. The vision for SchoolsPlus is that schools become a convenient place for government and other services to be delivered

to families. This approach will make it easier for professionals to collaborate with each other on behalf of children, youth, and families. The services provided at each Schools Plus site respect and address the unique needs of the community. Each site has a regional advisory committee with representation from various government departments such as Justice, Community Services, Education, and Health and Wellness. The advisory committees help identify gaps in services or resources and help come up with solutions. Each of the eight NS School boards has a SchoolsPlus facilitator and SchoolsPlus Community Outreach Workers. They are the liaison between the school and the community. Their job is to advocate, co-ordinate, and expand services for students and families. They will help families navigate the system and get the services they need. SchoolsPlus will serve all children, youth, and families, particularly those for whom additional supports and services are needed for their success. Social work, health, justice, and mental health services are offered at the school site in addition to family resource centres, child care centres, and youth health centres.https://schoolsplus.ednet.ns.ca/

This program will offer peer support to people transitioning from hospital back into their communities as well as to people requiring additional support as they pursue their recovery through mental health services in the community. The province developed a curriculum to ensure all peer support specialists are trained, and through Peer Support Accreditation Certification Canada, Nova Scotia Peer Support Worker will also be certified. The equivalent of 14 full time peer support positions will be funded by the province through Healthy Minds Cooperative. Hiring of the peer support specialists will involve an effort to identify specialists for diverse populations such as; youth, First Nations, African Nova Scotians, LGBTI community and Acadian/Francophone Nova Scotians.www.healthyminds.ca

NS Office of the Ombudsman

1-888-839-6884 The child and youth mandate of the Office of the Ombudsman is part of the increased recognition of youth rights and the demand for government accountability where services affect youth. Youth Services offers an independent mechanism for reviewing and investigating the concerns of children, youth, parents, guardians and those working in provincial and municipal child and youth serving facilities and service systems. Ombudsman representatives provide children and youth with a chance to have their voices heard, while monitoring conditions in facilities and making recommendations to improve various child-serving systems. We provide independent oversight and outreach services to youth in correctional facilities, the secure care facility and residential child-caring facilities. We also ensure youth in RCMP and municipal police holding cells are aware of our free services.
