Durham Family Court Clinic

Description

The Durham Family Court Clinic was founded in August of 1980 with a mandate to provide assessments and service brokerage for youth in conflict with the law appearing before the Durham Family Court. Family mediation was introduced into the agency in 1981, initially by way of professionals donating their time, and since 1999, through funding by the Ministry of the Attorney General. Child welfare and custody and access assessments were introduced into the mandate in 1985 as were assessments for youth in conflict with the law over the age of 16 years. These assessments were provided and continue to be provided on a fee-for-service basis. In 1988, we expanded delivery of service to include the Community Support Team funded through the Ministry of Community & Social Services. The following year, agencies in the Durham, Peterborough, and Four Counties regions came together to form the Young Offender Management Council to facilitate collaboration and this Council continues to date as the Youth Justice Partnership Council.
