About this service
Court support & advocacy, as provided by the Family Support Advocates at the Caribou Child & Youth Centre, offers help to children and youth who are victims and witnesses in criminal court cases. Navigating the judicial process can cause significant distress and anxiety to children due to cognitive developmental challenges and the traumatic nature of their experiences. The advocates aim to alleviate these difficulties by providing support services and implementing strategies like Testimonial Aids, closed-circuit television, remote testimony, and the presence of a support person or a facility dog during testimony. They also educate families about the legal process and other provisions that protect vulnerable witnesses, such as banning public and withholding publication of identifying information.
