Criminal justice program

Through our Criminal Justice Program we provide support to people with a disability who have had contact with or are at risk of entering the criminal justice system.

To provide the necessary support and guidance to individuals in this program, we have adopted a psycho-social approach to support.

This approach allows us to focus on the emotional, social and spiritual aspects of the individual’s experiences and determine how these relate to their quality of life, offending and other behaviour patterns.

In providing this support we focus on:

• The individual's ability to deal with the challenges and stress caused by peer relationships, emotional and mental health needs, substance abuse and financial issues.
• Developing the individual’s skill set to better equip them for the activities of daily living.

At Lifestyle Solutions we understand the complexity of the issues that may lead to a person entering the Criminal Justice System and we recognise the enormous value of family involvement in the lives of everyone we support.
