We welcome the opportunity to speak to community groups, schools and businesses about the challenges children and youth face as victims or witness of abuse or crime.
We’ll discuss the unique and valuable role we play in supporting these brave young people through the criminal justice system, beginning with how the Child and Youth Advocate Program – in the Waterloo Region Child and Youth Advocacy Centre (CYAC) – supports children, youth and families at the start of the investigation, regardless of whether charges are laid.
If charges are laid, either through the CYAC or through investigations handled through other police units in Waterloo Region or Guelph and Wellington County we will share how we can support young people and their families through the criminal court process and the impact of the court experience on young people and their families.
