What's the most effective way to prevent crime? While deterrence is an essential element of #crimeprevention, the reality is most people don't become involved in crime because of character flaws — it's often a by-product of several factors with a root in repeated trauma. #yyc

Earlier this month, CJHS hosted a collaborative conference focused on supporting diverse individuals within the justice system. We’re hopeful this event sparked new ideas, strengthened connections, and laid the groundwork for future collaboration across the sector. #yyc

Indigenous youth are 8% of the youth population but nearly 50% of youth corrections admissions, a result of intergenerational trauma & inequities. At CJHS, youth connect with culture through drum making, ribbon shirts, bannock, and sage harvesting. #NDTR #TruthAndReconciliation

Some of our team and youth clients had the privilege of joining Elder Ruby Eaglechild and Elder Julie at Siksika to harvest sage. They learned about the traditions connected to sage, offered tobacco in reciprocity, and gathered this sacred medicine to be used in our facilities.

🌈 Yesterday celebrated our 2SLGBTQ+ community in the #CalgaryPride Parade. CJHS supports the 2SLGBTQ+ community through housing, youth programs, and criminal justice supports. There is much more work to be done, but we hope to build safer, more inclusive communities. #YYCPride

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we want to share Nic's story. His journey towards finding joy in life again is an inspiring one for all. We’re grateful for the chance to work with Nic and so many others, to offer whatever support we can even when it feels like life may be at its lowest

Here are 3 ways to remember and honour those who were lost, as well as the survivors of residential schools:  1. Become informed of the Indigenous history  2. Engage and participate in community events  3. Wear an orange shirt #EveryChildMatters #NDTR 🧡
