- and more.

Local Interagency Groups (LIG’s) identify young people who may benefit from participation in this 12-month program. Families are unable to self-refer to this program.
By providing intensive support to both the young person and their family, Target 120 aims to provide a holistic intervention to address the factors that lead to offending.
