Description
The CRC approach aims to hold the offender accountable for the choices he or she has made and to encourage appropriate alternative behaviours. We believe that our intervention must focus on both the offender and the environment, as they are interrelated, hence the importance of establishing contacts with the client's significant resources and with community organizations that can help him/her in his/her management.

Admission requirements
The person must be on a correctional measure with follow-up. A CRC worker reviews the application and determines its admissibility. If necessary, the CRC worker will meet with the applicant to conduct an evaluation. This assessment will focus on the candidate's motivation, expectations and needs. The counsellor will then take the opportunity to inform the applicant about the program, the services offered, the rules and regulations and the basic functioning of the residence. The decision will be communicated to the candidate within ten days following the meeting.
