London, Canada Youth Centre For Change Full time

Youth Centre for Change is a residential treatment facility located in London, Ontario, for youth between 12-18 years old who have demonstrated harmful sexual behaviour and/or have sexual offences.

Each youth will engage in a process of developing an individualized, structured, and adaptable clinical path for their therapeutic work while at YCFC. The collaborative intervention plan is created based on each youth’s risk-need responsivity principles.
