This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week and we will be sharing posts to draw awareness to the intersections of mental health and justice involvement. Greater supports are necessary to ensure justice-involved individuals receive the treatment they need in and out of custody.

Youth with FASD who are involved with the justice system need programming that goes beyond a one size fits all approach. That’s exactly what the All 4 One program out of JHS Hamilton was able to do. Check out our evaluation of the program: johnhoward.on.ca/wp-content/upl… #FASDMonth2024
