Primary Need: Legal Supports

Description: The Youth Justice Committee Forum is a one-time mediation session that is comprised of a trained staff, the victim, victimizer and parents of both parties if desired. The purpose of this forum is to give the victim an opportunity to repair the harms inflicted upon him/her and address the reasons for the hurt caused. This process holds the victimizer accountable for their actions and provides them with the opportunity to witness how their actions have affected others. A Youth Justice Committee gives the victim a voice and provides them with closure to the occurrence in a safe and controlled setting. Ultimately the goal is for the victimizer to take responsibility for their actions and reduce the likelihood of future negative behaviour and/or activities.
