Adult Programs
At the John Howard Society of Peterborough, we offer a range of services for adults, providing support, building skills, and preparing participants for the challenges they may face within the community.
Community Intake and Aftercare:
advice and referrals for individuals in need of support.
Our staff and volunteers are available to work one-to-one with individuals in need to help with finding housing or work, pursuing training or education, completing post-release requirements, or adjusting to community life.
Institutional Services:
support, advocacy and advice for men at Warkworth Institution.
Our staff assists inmates at Warkworth Institution with pre-release planning by providing information on housing, employment, education, counselling and other services. John Howard Society Staff are at Warkworth Institution every other Tuesday. We accept collect calls from prison.
Partner Assault Response (PAR):
a program for men and women that focuses on the root causes of partner assault and its effects on both spouses and children.
In this 16-week group program, our staff uses structured exercises to help participants gain an understanding of their own beliefs and behaviours, learn techniques for defusing violence and abuse before it occurs, and focus on the characteristics of healthy relationships. The goal of the PAR program is increased safety for partners and increased accountability on the part of offenders.
