| Description | Following the model developed by the Arson Prevention Program for Children (TAPP-C) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, an assessment is completed for children and adolescents ages two to 18. The programs tries to gain an understanding of the factors and circumstances that may contribute to the child/youth's life that may be helpful in reducing the risk for future fire related behaviours. A brief intervention program may be developed to •examine the factors that contribute to a child/youth's fire involvement, •evaluate risk for injury due to fire, •evaluate risk for further fire involvement, •develop an intervention plan to reduce a child/youth's risk, •and develop an intervention plan to improve family fire safety. A referral to a Fire Education Officer of the Hamilton Fire Department is an integral part of the model and can be arranged by calling 905-546-2424, Ext. 1380. The assessment format requires the participation of the child/youth and his/her parents or caregivers. The appointment lasts approximately two and a half to three hours. | |||
