If you run youth justice programs, you\u2019ve likely seen how tough it is to get these youth the proper support. Long wait lists, no services close by, and the stigma of asking for help make it even harder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When those needs go unmet, youth can end up stuck in the justice system longer, families and communities feel more stress, and programs like yours feel stretched thin. But there\u2019s hope. Mobile counselling for youth justice programs can change this. These units bring help straight to the youth, in a safe and welcoming space, so they\u2019re more likely to accept the care they need.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 40px 0;\">\n<div style=\"margin: 60px 0; padding: 20px;\"><a style=\"display: inline-flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; background-color: #8cc63e; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; padding: 14px 30px; border-radius: 5px; line-height: 0; height: 40px; transition: background-color 0.2s ease, text-decoration 0.2s ease;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/mobile-counselling-van\/\"><br \/>\nLearn about the Mobile Counselling Van<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pour plus de <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/20-milestones\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20 ans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MoveMobility<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has worked with groups all across Canada to remove <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/breaking-barriers-to-healthcare-with-mobile-medical-vans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">barriers to care<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

But challenges often stand in the way. Many programs deal with limited funding, long wait times for counselling, and difficulty reaching youth in rural or remote communities. These barriers make it tough to provide consistent, timely care that youth can trust. Let\u2019s take a look at five common barriers your program might face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. Reaching youth in remote locations<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Programs based in cities like Toronto face a big challenge: Youth in remote parts of Canada often can\u2019t make it to you. About 16% of Canada\u2019s youth live in rural areas.\u00a0 For Indigenous youth, the numbers are even higher, hovering <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/en\/publications\/linking-indigenous-communities-with-regional-development-in-canada_fa0f60c6-en.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">around 60%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means many young people live far from youth justice services. There might be no bus transportation, no car, and maybe just ski-do or plane trips to get help. Weather, road closures, and long distances all slow things down, making it hard for them to get consistent care or make it to appointments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might feel stuck, seeing youth fail to connect with care. You probably worry they\u2019ll drop out of programs or fall back into the system. That gap hurts your mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voici \u00e0 quoi cela ressemble :<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Long travel means low attendance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Youth may skip visits if getting there takes too long or costs too much.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Weather and roads can block access:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Snow, ice, or bad roads can shut a trip down altogether.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Isolation raises costs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sending staff or youth over long distances takes more time and money.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t reach youth where they are, they may not get the support they need when they need it most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Stigma around seeking help<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stigma makes it hard for youth justice programs to connect with young people. Many youth worry they will be judged if they ask for help. In Canada, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mentalhealthcommission.ca\/what-we-do\/anti-stigma\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60% of people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a mental health problem or illness won\u2019t seek help because of fear of being labelled. That hesitancy can keep youth from showing up at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bmchealthservres.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12913-023-09075-6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research in Ontario<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also shows stigma is a major barrier for youth when they try to get mental health services. This can stop them before the first visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fear of judgment:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Youth may skip counselling to avoid labels from friends or family.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Privacy worries:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some don\u2019t want to be seen going into a clinic or office.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cultural expectations:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In some homes, talking about mental health still feels off-limits.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When stigma blocks healthcare, problems grow. Your program\u2019s goals get harder to reach, and youth stay stuck longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Limited funding and resources<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funding and resources are a big challenge for youth justice programs in Canada. Many programs have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/financement-de-la-mobilite-pour-les-communautes-autochtones\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tight budgets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can make it hard to hire enough staff, run enough sessions, or buy needed supplies. Youth programs often struggle because government funding doesn\u2019t always match the service demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited resources can lead to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fewer staff:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Programs may not have enough counselors to see every youth who needs help.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Shorter sessions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Youth may get rushed support instead of the time they need to work through issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cuts to programs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some initiatives may be reduced or cancelled when budgets are tight.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These limitations make it hard for youth justice programs to provide consistent, quality care. Youth may fall through the cracks, and programs may struggle to meet their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Long wait times for support<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another major barrier that youth justice programs in Canada face is long wait times. Reports show that some youth wait months, even up to a year, to access mental health services. For a young person already involved in the justice system, that\u2019s a long time to go without help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long waits can create bigger problems:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Issues worsen over time:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Without timely support, small struggles can turn into serious challenges.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Youth disengage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Long delays make it harder to keep young people motivated to attend programs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Families lose trust:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Parents and caregivers may feel the system is failing their child.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These delays can be frustrating for programs like yours. You\u2019re ready to help, but the youth who need care the most may not get it soon enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. Lack of culturally relevant assistance<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many youth justice programs in Canada also face the challenge of providing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/culturally-sensitive-care\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">culturally safe and relevant<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> care. For <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/combler-les-lacunes-en-matiere-de-soins-de-sante-pour-les-premieres-nations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indigenous<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> youth especially, mainstream counselling services often don\u2019t reflect their traditions, languages, or ways of healing. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/assets\/gov\/british-columbians-our-governments\/indigenous-people\/aboriginal-peoples-documents\/calls_to_action_english2.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truth and Reconciliation Commission<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has highlighted the need for culturally appropriate services, yet gaps remain nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When care doesn\u2019t connect with a youth\u2019s cultural identity, it can feel distant or unhelpful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can cause:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low engagement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Youth may feel the program doesn\u2019t understand them, so they pull back.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Distrust of services:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Past negative experiences can make youth wary of participating again.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Occasions manqu\u00e9es :<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Without cultural relevance, youth may lose a chance to connect in meaningful ways.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For programs like yours, the goal is to build trust and help youth feel seen. But without culturally informed care, it\u2019s harder to form that strong connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How can mobile counselling units help youth justice programs overcome barriers?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"lazyload smush-lazyload-video smush-lazyload-vimeo\" style=\"--smush-video-aspect-ratio: 800\/450\" data-bg-image=\"url(https:\/\/i.vimeocdn.com\/video\/2052205708-7e2d9785066a30c68aeb0a5d3cf1a5ed09d3418ef83c4c18678e2b7ccd6bcc6f-d_960?region=us)\" ><iframe title=\"Tourn\u00e9e de la camionnette de conseil mobile Finale\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1113657012?h=a432748190&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/iframe><span class=\"smush-play-btn\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play video\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span tabindex=\"0\" class=\"smush-play-btn-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Play<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile counselling units can help your youth justice program in many ways. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voici comment :<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reach youth where they live:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your team can drive the unit directly to communities, even in rural or remote areas.
