HeadStart Program
Headstart is a six-month full-time attendance program in Campbell River for up to five male youth between 14-18 years. The youth reside in specialized family care homes in the community while attending the strength-based, experiential day program. All youth have access to individual and group counseling; teacher/counselor supported education; social, cultural, and recreational activities; and work/volunteer experience. If appropriate, youth are supported to engage in paid work opportunities. Youth are able to earn 20-25 school credits during their stay. The program helps young men to overcome the complex challenges they face and develop the needed pro-social skills to cope with these challenges..
Our mission is to promote and foster safer and healthier communities by providing appropriate programs for rehabilitation, education, prevention and healing for those who need an opportunity to achieve, maintain or regain a balance within their community.
