Parklands Open Custody Treatment is a residential program based on an individualized rehabilitation plan of care developed by the youth, family/guardian and a multidisciplinary team to address specific emotional, behavioural and mental health needs which contribute to antisocial and criminal behaviour. The strengths-based plan includes personal and family goals, skill-based training, educational programming, recreation and community reintegration. Youth may also be admitted to the program as they await the completion of a court ordered psychological or psychiatric assessment.
