"Effective, just and humane responses to crime and its causes"

“I don't feel that I have to limit the amount I talk about my son and the situation we are in. Everyone in this group is so supportive and I feel I can be open to all. I have learned so much about the system, and how the experiences we have and are dealing with, affect each of us. To have others know what we are feeling and understanding, is more than I can explain. I'm not sure I would be dealing with all of this as well, if not for our group.” Women’s Group Participant

“John Howard Society has made a big impact on the way I handle certain situations. I was taught helpful strategies that I use when I am needing them. My counselor replies to all my emails promptly, and with a detailed response. John Howard Society makes sure to take care of all of their clients and makes sure they're all happy with the service they're receiving. Also, John Howard Society being free without an hourly charge is great for anyone who needs counseling but can't afford it.” Youth Counselling Client
