The Youth Empowerment Crime Diversion Scheme - CBT based crime prevention interventions

Fiona Medley said...

The Youth Empowerment Crime Diversion Scheme is an amazingly unique charity. The scheme aims: To promote a positive change in the attitudes of young people which supports a reduction in offending and anti-social behaviour - Through Youth Empowerment Services a team of fully trained and experienced ex-offenders deliver interventions to young people to divert them from crime. All our interventions are specifically designed and written by our team and are based on Cognitive Behavioural Techniques (CBT), personal experience and 'what works' research. As the programmes are delivered by ex-offenders this creates high levels of identification and engagement from some of the most challenging and hard-to-reach groups of young people. We aim to divert young people from crime by empowering them to explore social responsibilities and lifestyle choices. We work with Schools, PRU's and Police groups in the Surrey area. Feedback and evaluation from service users shows that we are a highly effective and needed service. Support form you would be very gratefully received.
