Project DARE is an intensive adventure therapy program available to male youth in Ontario ages 14-18 who are facing an open custody disposition and are recommended by their Probation Officer.

Like all custody programs, it is funded by the Province. The REACH program is a per diem rated residential adventure therapy program which has often been successfully utilized as a voluntary alternative to custody, particularly when a CAS is involved in the residential care of the youth. Professional development courses and short term non-residential programs are listed under the ACHIEVE training and development button.
