Open Custody and Detention Facility
Kairos operates an 7 bed male facility.
Services are provided to young persons age 12-17 (male) at time of offence who have been sentenced to open custody though the Courts; have had community or conditional supervision suspended by a Ministry Provincial Director and remanded to an open custody facility; who have been remanded into custody on a detention warrant and assessed for placement in an open custody facility. Kairos is the designated point of entry for level of detention assessments for male youth, Thunder Bay and District.
Programs and Services are youth-centered and delivered in a multi-disciplinary teamwork environment which promotes rehabilitation and reintegration for each youth.
Case Management Reintegration Plans are developed for each youth targeting those areas of assessed need/risk and identify areas of youth, family and community strength.
Interventions strategies are tailored to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each youth and promote youth accountability.
Specialized programs and services may be accessed through the community to meet specific identified needs and to support the reintegration process for youth.
Individual education plans are developed for each youth and supported through on-site section 23 classroom.
We would like to acknowledge the ‘Picture Store and Framing Centre’ and the ‘Painted Turtle’ art shop for their contributions to our art program. A special thanks to Thunder Bay artists Linda Dell and John Ferris who mentor the youth and draw out their unique talents and strengths.
