Dare Attendance provides a community-based full-time attendance program (four to six months in duration) for young people on a sentencing order as an alternative to custody. The individual case plans address the educational, vocational and personal development needs of each participant. Family caregivers provide structure, supervision and support in a family setting. PLEA provides safe placements and assists the young person, and wherever possible their family, to develop and implement long-term plans. Residents are actively involved in day to day activities in the family care home as well as in the community. Residents and their families may receive post placement support for up to two months to facilitate their transition home or to independent living.
