CAFFY (Court Assistants for Female Youth) is an initiative within the Youth Court Program matching volunteers to act as mentors and positive supports to young women who are involved in the Youth Court System. CAFFY.pdf Just-Us Girls is an exciting
new Program of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Edmonton, in collaboration with The
Youth Criminal Defense Office, The Family Law Office, The Office of The Child
& Youth Advocate, Children & Youth Services – Region 6, The Youth Restorative Action Project and The Young Offenders Branch.
The Program is aimed at a
gender specific, restorative justice approach working with the vulnerable
population of young Moms, who have either a Youth Criminal Matter, or a Children and Youth Services
Application before the courts.
The young Mother can take
this opportunity to become involved (voluntarily), with community members who
have been trained to conduct and participate in sharing circles, and provide
mentorship, and support.
An action plan is devised in
which she has the ability to address problems, and obtain applicable resources
in an effort to sustain the family. In a Youth Court matter, it may offer
sentencing recommendations, or an appropriate disposition for the
Extrajudicial Sanctions Program. In a Children’s Services matter, it may
assist in addressing the young Mom’s personal issues, allowing the return of her
child(ren).
Ultimately, this Program
allows the Young Mother the opportunity to become an active participant in
which her voice is heard, and in establishing a positive outcome
