With community safety as the guide, Easton Manor transitional living program offers a bridge between residential placement and the community for adolescent males who have completed approved treatment for sexually problematic behaviors (SPB) at-least to the RPP & Wellness plan stage. Youth refine these plans as well as address any treatment gaps to allow for eventual return home or to other living arrangements.
Alternately, youth whose PSB do not warrant more intensive treatment may be considered.
