The PAC program provides family-focused, client responsive intervention for families in conflict and at risk of breakdown or harm because of parent/adolescent struggles. This program is in partnership with the Hamilton CAS and CCAS, and is partially funded through MCCSS.

Providing immediate response to heightened situations, PAC aims to prevent the escalation of conflict to the point of harm or family breakdown, to stabilize the family situation by intervening with both parent and adolescent, and, where necessary create a bridge to longer term help.

The family is engaged in the following services as needed:

• Family Contracting
• Individual Support (guardian and/or youth)
• Brokerage, linkage and advocacy including referrals to longer term supports or interventions
