The Direct Accountability Program (DAP) includes both pre-charge and post-charge diversion components, both available to eligible individuals 18 years of age and older. Post-Charge Diversion is delivered at the Ottawa and L\u2019Orignal Courthouses. It is an alternative to formal prosecution for eligible who have been charged with minor criminal offences. Pre-charge Diversion, delivered at the Ottawa Courthouse, sees individuals facing charges for minor offences being diverted away from the criminal justice system and redirected to E Fry Ottawa for community programming and supports. Our staff delivers educational programming, including Theft Prevention, Anger Management, and Alcohol and Drug Awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This program requires court referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navigating the court process can be overwhelming and stressful.\u00a0 Many individuals experience confusion, anxiety and uncertainty about what lies ahead. To assist individuals in managing these challenges, E Fry Ottawa offers emotional support, legal information, and connections to a range of community programs and services tailored to their specific needs. Where possible, trained volunteers may also be arranged to provide in-person court support. Individuals being released from custody can receive immediate and practical assistance at our courthouse office, including bus tickets, access to a courtesy phone, community resources, and directions to shelters or back to jail, if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
