Our Services
The NCCA of British Columbia employs over 50 workers in 30 BC communities. The Native Courtworker Program assists Aboriginal people with the police or courts by providing legal options, translation and interpretation, and referrals to other agencies such as (legal aid, alcohol and drug treatment, debt counselling and family counselling and Aboriginal Restorative Justice programs). We also assist individuals to prepare for court, accompany individuals to court, and speak on their behalf, if appropriate. Court proceedings include criminal and youth courts.
The Association’s Alcohol and Drug Program is centered in Vancouver’s Gastown and Surrey offices. It offers help to Aboriginal persons who suffer from alcoholism or drug abuse. Specific services include substance abuse counselling, one-to-one counselling, and referral to detox centres, rehabilitation and residential centres. Staff also provide follow-up and aftercare treatment and offer support to various recovery programs.
SpotLIGHT
Family and Youth Advocates
The Native Youth and Family Advocate program is to advocate on behalf of aboriginal parents who require guidance and support with family matters. A Family/Youth Advocate is someone who encourages, knows when to listen, cares, keeps confidences, withholds judgments, provides information and is a positive role model.
