Restorative Justice Chatham-Kent

Restorative Justice Chatham-Kent We provide alternative pathways for at-risk youth, restoring a positive connection with the community, thereby creating a safer, healthier Chatham-Kent.

The alternative pathways we provide to at-risk youth in the community are achieved through our Extrajudicial Measures Program (Pre-Charge Diversion, Police-referred), Extrajudicial Sanctions Program (Post-Charge Diversion, Crown Attorney-referred) and Restorative Justice Community Conferencing. These programs are funded by the Ministry of Children, Community & Social Services; the EJM and EJS Prog

rams are only available to youth (12-17) who have come into contact with the law, and have a minor criminal offence charge pending or within the court system, under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). These alternative pathways are also provided through our 'Positive Strides' Intervention & Educational Programs. The wide range of program modules that we offer under this umbrella are available FREE to any child or youth (7-17) in the community who are not currently in conflict with the law, but who are at risk for delinquent, negative behaviours, and may be struggling in school, at home, and/or within their social environments. NOTE: these programs are also delivered to the youth who are enrolled in the EJM and EJS Programs.
'Positive Strides' Programs currently include:

- "Teen Intervene" (Experimenting with Substances)
- Substance Use Program (In-Depth)
- Anti-Bullying + Harassment
- Managing Anger + Aggression
- Dealing with Emotions
- Theft + Vandalism
- Caught in the Net (Online Safety)
- Working Through Worries *NEW*

*** "Caught in the Net" is also available as an interactive CLASSROOM or GROUP PRESENTATION ***

– PROM & GRAD BOUTIQUE

At FREEhelpCK, we believe that every young person deserves to feel confident, celebrated, and supported as they reach important milestones in life.

On April 11 from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM, we are proud to open our Prom & Grad Boutique for students across Chatham-Kent.

We are providing free dresses, suits, shoes, and accessories to graduating students — because no youth should ever miss out on prom or graduation due to financial barriers.

This initiative is about more than clothing.
It’s about restoring confidence, building dignity, and ensuring every student has the opportunity to shine as they step into their next chapter.

If you know a student in need, please connect them with us.
If you’re able to support or share, we would be grateful.

Together, we can make sure every graduate feels seen, valued, and celebrated.

When a community comes together, barriers come down — and young people rise.”
