Youth Justice Minister Laura Gerber emphasises that the initiative will roll out across regional Queensland to back evidence-based community programs, that keep at-risk young people engaged in education, training and rehabilitation.
The Ted Noffs Foundation will deliver the Regional Reset program and provide up to 15 weeks of support for at-risk young people aged 8 to 17.
This includes a one-to-three week live-in ‘reset’ at a Doonan facility offering 24/7 support and supervision, with the option for a guardian or parent to be present.
This program will focus on early intervention, alcohol and other drug treatment, and community-based support to break cycles of offending and create safer communities.
