Shift

Doing whatever it takes to break the destructive cycle of children and young people committing crimes so that, instead, they make a positive contribution to society and build better lives for themselves. SHiFT works with children and young people who are, or are at risk of, repeatedly committing crimes. At the heart of SHiFT’s approach is the relationship the child or young person has with a SHiFT Guide. Anchored in the Breaking Cycles Model, SHiFT Guides will provide participants the focused, consistent and effective attention of a highly-skilled practitioner with the time, support, and experience to do “whatever it takes” to build trust and find a connection that can bring change.
