The John Howard Society is a community-based non-profit concerned with the causes and consequences of crime. We believe that crime is a community problem that requires community-based solutions.
We are currently recruiting for a full time MiiWrap Facilitator, working with youth 12- 17.
The MiiWrap Facilitator role involves program delivery, collaborating with team members and engaging with youth, families and community.
MiiWrap combines two evidence-based practices: Motivational Interviewing and Wraparound, both of which are based on years of proven result. The Wraparound approach is recognized as being one of the best approached to working with people that have multiple, complex issues and behaviours.
The MiiWrap approach is aimed at shifting the focus from traditional problem-solving based approaches to:
- Needs vs problems
- Following a strengths-based, needs-driven approach
- Being holistic and youth & family driven
- Building on individual and family strengths and culture

the youth and family after services.
