CYDP

We do whatever it takes to support young men to remain on a pro-social pathway. Our young men spend three weeks with the army before coming to us for comprehensive therapeutic, cultural, educational and vocational training. We then place them in employment, education or training, and support them to stay there. We also provide family support

We have had enormous success with our young men and their families. The international literature tells us that any programme which attains a success rate of 30% non-offending rate is considered 'world-class'. The success rate for the formal incarceration system in NZ is 20%. Working with the army and other agencies, we consistently achieve 60%.
