OSPREY
Osprey offers a 5 day program Monday through Friday to adjudicated youth who have substance use issues. Referrals come via the Ministry for Children and Family Development. This program works in partnership with Elizabeth Fry Society who provides 'care home' beds in the Kamloops community for youth attending the program. The program is based on a holistic model of care where all life domains are taken into consideration. Each youth is considered unique and approaches and treatment plans reflect individual needs. Programs run for both male and female groups throughout the year. A school component is part of regular programming during the school year
