C.A.M.S (Community Adult Mentoring and Support)
Legal
Provided by John Howard Society of Victoria
A mentorship program offering support for offenders upon release back into the community.
Mentors provide one-on-one support to offenders with high risk/needs as they reintegrate into society after serving time in a federal institution. The mentor will enter a 1-year commitment for this role, with the hope of continuing. Mentors seek to complement the work of Parole Officers, Halfway Houses and other agencies in order to ensure our community remains safe. During this mentorship, volunteers assist with:
- Grocery shopping
- Banking
- Navigating the city
- Participating in social/recreational activities of interest
- Employment/education seeking
- Coping with stressful situations encountered upon release
- Forming and maintaining healthy relationships
- Following release plans
