John Howard Society of Southeastern New Brunswick Inc.

The John Howard Society in Moncton is more than meets the eye. On the surface, we offer a long list of programs and services to our clients. Behind the scenes, the programs we choose to offer, and how we deliver them, is done with a lot of purpose.

We only deliver programs that fall into 5 distinct categories: housing, personal emotions management, addictions & mental health, education, and employment. We chose those 5 areas because we believe what the criminal justice research tells us – that if you address needs in those areas, you will see a decrease in risk behaviours and an increase in personal self-management skills. Our strategies will help people change their beliefs and behaviours, and therefore change their lives.

We are really good at what we do because our staff members are genuine, hopeful, and truthful with everyone we serve. And that's no coincidence, either! They were hired because of their personal characteristics, along with their professional credentials, because we know we'll have a better chance of success if we do.
