| Areas Served | Niagara Region |
| Description | A specialized treatment service for the following: inappropriate sexualized behaviours; youth who have been charged with a sexual offence; counselling for children and youth who have been sexually abused; and fire-setting.
Fire Involved Program is the mental health portion of The Arson Prevention Program for Children (TAPP-C) as developed by the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health in Toronto. This program has been highly successful in preventing further incidents in young people with fire-setting behaviours. The program is available for children and youth prior to their 18th birthday. Fire-setting behaviours need to be treated very seriously as these behaviours can lead to severe property damage, injury, and even death. The Fire Involve Program primarily addresses these behaviours but also looks at other co-existing concerns as well.
All programs provided by High Risk Services are supported by psychiatric, psychological, and paediatric assessment and consultations to staff. |
