Youth on Track

Youth on Track is designed to help teens (10-17 years) who are at risk of long-term involvement in the criminal justice system. We work with young people and their families to identify triggers to offending; helping to identify issues and work through solutions; to reduce risky behaviour and to make positive life choices.

The scheme offers intensive one on one support to young people who have had formal contact with police. Each young person is allocated a Case Manager and each case plan is tailor made and targeted to the needs of the young person. 

Youth on Track Case Managers use cognitive behaviour therapy to help young people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and learn healthier skills and habits, to reduce risky behaviour. 

Case Managers work closely with the young person and their families, identifying triggers to offending, while supporting those with behavioural and mental health issues. 

Referrals to the program can be made by the police and teachers. 

No, the young person’s engagement in Youth on Track is voluntary. 

Social Futures delivers Youth on Track in Coffs Harbour and Grafton.
