University of Regina

Purpose

The University of Regina project will work with Indigenous offenders with FASD involved in the criminal justice system in Regina, SK and Whitehorse, YK. The project will develop and deliver services to support successful diversion and/or reintegration and work collaboratively with defense counsel and correctional services to support FASD-affected Indigenous offenders. The project will also develop a service model for Indigenous organizations and front-line service providers on a person-centered FASD/criminal justice intervention that effectively addresses the over-representation of Indigenous offenders in the Canadian criminal justice system.
