Social Development

• We draw on both the Family Support and Counselling services programs when we work with youth 
• We will work in the best interests of both our youths and our community; if it is determined that we have a high-risk youth in the community and that it is in their best interest to be out of community, we meet with the parents and discuss options.
• We connect youth in community to attend gatherings and other youth events in BC. 
• We connect youth with in-community youth activities every two weeks. Our youth worker coordinates various youth groups through the YVA (Youth Voice Association) as well as a Youth Committee. 
• We help support children and youth with basic life skills and navigating education to grow independence.

• We gather information on and assess family functioning problems, needs, and risks in order to develop the proper guidance and support. Our team develops and implements intervention plans through high-success rate techniques such as active listening, conflict resolution, and psycho-educational group methods to resolve any identified problems, needs, and risks. 
• We participate in the development, modification, and evaluation of children and families at risk care plans with service providers and relevant health staff. 
• We provide information on program schedules and events, and we also provide referrals to other community service providers, resources, and professionals as required. 
• We provide referrals to clients for parenting skill-building on issues such as parent-child interaction, child development, home safety, nutrition, and Little Eagles child care, and how to work with community programs such as AIDP.
