About The John Howard Society
Who We Are
We exist to promote and support healthy and safe communities, by mobilizing partners and engaging families and individuals, while addressing the social conditions that give rise to crime.
Mission & Purpose
The John Howard Society actively promotes policy and legislation that creates and maintains just, peaceful and safe communities.
The Society recommends policies, which recognize the limitations of the criminal justice system to prevent crime and victimization and attempts to identify and promote the benefits of alternative prevention initiatives.
The Society is active in advocacy, research, community education, coalition building and resource development and is a major partner with government departments in the development and implementation of services which fall within the provincial anti-poverty, mental health, anti-violence and criminal justice strategies.
What We Do
We are active partners in building safe communities, working closely with like-minded agencies in the Fundy Region, to service the mental health needs of adults, youth, and families.
We provide education programs, housing opportunities and transition to employment services for our clients.
