The service providers will work in collaboration with Community Corrections, with the support directly linked to the offender’s case plan to reduce the risk of reoffending.
Support services may include assisting offenders with accommodation needs, access to services (such as mental health and alcohol and other drug services) engaging in prosocial activities in the community, employment or education referrals.
