Residential
Services | Youth Room
In
partnership with the Ministry
of Social Services, we set aside a room with two beds
in it for boys that are 16-17
years old who find themselves in a dangerous situation
or are on the streets.
Their room
has lockers to secure their belongings, a television set, access
to a computer as well as washroom, shower, and laundry facilities.
We provide
this room as a part of our committment to keeping youth safe,
off the streets, and outside of the influence of gangs.
In addition
to services that we provide all of our long
term and transitional clients, we also do regular bed checks,
provide feedback to Youth and Family Services caseworkers, and
help them with life skills (like cleaning up after themselves),
homework, and offering a listening ear.
