Criminal Courtworkers are located in 13 locations and guide Aboriginal adults and youth charged with a criminal offence to navigate the court process. The Aboriginal Criminal Court Work Program assists accused offenders to better understand their rights, options and responsibilities when appearing before the courts, through the guidance of a Courtworker. Aboriginal Courtworkers are not Lawyers and do not give legal advice. They are Courtworkers and advocates who speak on a person’s behalf if they can’t or won’t speak for themselves while involved in the criminal justice system. We can assist with putting people in touch with a Lawyer, Legal Aid, and where to get free legal advice. We can help get you through the court process every step of the way. We can also request Diversion Programs and many workshops to help with healing in a holistic and traditional manner. Assist with attaining, Gladue Writer and applying for your disclosure.
