Child & Youth Worker Support
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Sometimes the most meaningful support happens right where your child feels most comfortable—in your own home. Our Child and Youth Workers provide personalized, family-centred care that meets children and families exactly where they are, both literally and emotionally..
Supports to help your child thrive.
Child and Youth Workers are trained professionals who work directly with children, teens, and their families to navigate emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges. Rather than traditional therapy that happens in a clinical setting, our Child and Youth Workers come to your home, creating a natural environment where your child can practice new skills and where families can work on real-time challenges together.

Why In-Home Support Makes a Difference
Your Space, Your Comfort
Children often feel more at ease and behave more naturally in their own space, leading to more authentic connections and better outcomes.
Fewer Barriers
No need to worry about transportation, parking, or scheduling conflicts that can make attending appointments challenging.
Real-Time Support
Strategies are learned and practiced in the environment where they'll be used most, making them more likely to stick.

Your Personalized Plan: Based on what we learn, we develop a customized support plan that addresses your specific challenges and builds on your family's strengths.
Regular Connection: Our Child and Youth Workers typically meet with families weekly, though we can adjust frequency based on what works best for your family.
Collaborative Care: We work closely with parents, teachers, and other professionals involved in your child's care to ensure consistent support across all environments.
