What is the Justice Institute?

Why Community Programs?.

The Justice Institute of British Columbia is a post secondary educational organization that provides training and education programs to
people working within the fields of justice and public safety. The
majority of people trained at the Justice Institute are employees of
B.C.'s Corrections, Court Services, Police, Fire and Emergency Health
Services.
In addition to training career professionals, the Justice Institute
through the Community Programs branch offers a wide range of noncredit courses to a broad range of professionals, community groups
and interested citizens.

By offering courses and workshops for individuals and groups in the
area of justice and public safety, the Justice Institute provides:
• a forum for the discussion of justice and public safety issues
• information and education on B.C.'s justice and public safety system
• training to increase participants' skills in dealing effectively with the
system.
Three broad categories of programs are offered through Community
Programs:

Interdisciplinary programs: workshops on current issues in the
justice and public safety system are designed for representatives of a
broad range of professionals, community groups and interested
citizens. Recent examples include programs on Sexual Abuse of
Children Within the Family, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and Crisis
Intervention.

Public Programs: to increase the public's awareness of their
rights and responsibilities in relation to justice and public safety; examples include sessions on Burglary Prevention in the Home;
Schemes, Scams and Cons (a course for senior citizens on ways to
protect themselves) and Heart Savers (a basic course in cardiac
pulmonary resuscitation.)
Programs for Private Agencies or Community Groups:
skill building sessions designed for one group or several agencies with
a common training need; Leadership Skills, Stress Management, and
Skills for Communicating with Clients are recent examples.
Community programs staff initiate programs or respond to requests
based on specialized needs. Projects are either sponsored solely by
the Justice Institute or developed in conjunction with other organizations. Some programs are held at the Justice Institute; however, staff
have a provincial mandate and work co-operatively with other groups
to organize programs throughout B.C.
