The Edgewood Program operates out of two six-bed and one three bed community based homes: Each home is staffed with a team of Youth Care Workers and Senior Youth Care Worker. Two Program Managers and a Therapist work together to oversee the operation of the Program.

In recognition of the complexity of the problem of sexually assaultive behaviours, as well as the heterogeneous nature of this population, the Edgewood Program incorporates a variety of psychotherapeutic, cognitive, behavioural and educational elements. This is an integrated model where the components support one another to provide the most effective service possible. Each youth is closely monitored and supervised, both within the residence and within the community. All youth are expected to actively participate in treatment and to take responsibility for their actions.

The Program Includes

Risk Assessment - initial and ongoing
Individual Treatment Schedules
Level System
Specific Peer Group Therapy
Psycho-educational Group
Parent / Family Involvement
Supported Full Day Programming
Close working relationship with Probation and the legal system
Pre-discharge Phase
Graduate or Post Discharge Treatment Group

Admission Criteria

Will be a male between the ages of 12 and 16 who has been approved for placement by the Provincial Placement Desk.
Will be developmentally and cognitively capable of participating in group living and treatment.
Will be able to be integrated into supported community-based day program.
Will not be an active member of a youth gang or committed to maintaining a gang affiliation.
Will have committed a hands-on sexual offence.
Will acknowledge having committed a sexual offense.

Priority will be given to youth that have been charged, adjudicated, and placed on probation with a mandate to participate and complete sex offender treatment.

Youth who are challenged by severe mental health issues and/or chemical dependency, which would detract from their ability to benefit from the program, would be referred to an alternate resource in the community.

The primary customers of this service are Child and Family Service agencies, who contract with us to provide this service. As part of the provincial residential care system, all clients of the Edgewood Program must have been approved by the Provincial Placement Desk. While out of province referrals will be considered, preference will be given to Manitoba residents.
