Youth Justice

Supporting 10-17 year old Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander young people exiting detention or involved with the youth justice system

This service is available in:

Youth Justice (YJ)

The Hervey Bay Cultural Family Partnership Service aims to support and encourage our Young People to address, manage and overcome the life challenges and obstacles that contribute to anti-social behaviours.

CQID youth workers build strong and trusting relationships with our Young People and their families to navigate challenging issues like risky behaviours that can lead to a negative spiral.

Individualised practical support is offered to help Young People achieve their goals, gain a sense of identity, belonging and connection. Supporting a Young Person to achieve their goals is done through intensive case management, 1 on 1 mentorship, group sessions and pro social activities.

 

Who is this service for?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people who:

  • Are aged between 10–17
  • At risk of or currently involved in the Youth Justice System
