North Belfast Alternatives
Help offered

It is the model Alternatives use to meet the needs of young offenders and to provide mechanisms to encourage them to make positive change. Participants are usually aged between 10-18 and are predominantly male. The programme addresses the needs of victim, offender and the community, as well as offering a non-violent approach to addressing anti-social behaviour and punishment violence.
