John Howard Society of Miramichi started with very similar goals and functions that you would find with other John Howard Society satellite installations in what began as very humble beginnings of the 1980s. Since its inception, JHSM has strived to learn and be encouraged to diversify its programs within the more rural and suburban areas that Miramichi has to offer, that has since grown to 4 primary offices with 5 separate mainstay programs with a focus of supporting our clients, family members and the expanding community under the lens of crime prevention.
