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 Programs 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 ***

NOTE: At this time, only those programs funded by the Ministry of Children, Community & Social Services can be delivered in French, upon request. This includes the Extrajudicial Measures (EJM) Program, Extrajudicial Sanctions (EJS) Program, and Restorative Justice Community Conferencing.

The Office of Restorative Justice Chatham-Kent will be closed on Monday for Thanksgiving. 🍂🧡

As we head into this Thanksgiving weekend, I want to take a moment to share what I’m truly thankful for.

I am so grateful for our amazing staff, our dedicated volunteers who serve as board members, our conference volunteers, and our bingo volunteers. Each of you gives so much of your time, energy, and heart to our organization and to the families and youth we are here to support. Your dedication, compassion, and generosity make a real difference in the lives of others, and we are so fortunate to have you as part of our team.

I am also incredibly thankful for all of our community partners who work alongside us, support our mission, and help us make a positive impact in our community. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

This Thanksgiving, I encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on what you are truly thankful for. Sometimes, it’s the people who stand beside us, the kindness we receive, and the small moments that mean the most. ❤️

From all of us at Restorative Justice Chatham-Kent, we wish you and your loved ones a safe, happy, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving weekend!

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡
