Enhancement of Youth Case Management with Peer Support and Indigenous Cultural Engagement
The project aims to deliver a culturally adapted model of their case management programming to provide support to Indigenous Youth. The project will engage with Indigenous Elders to provide more cultural supports and teachings, and plan to add a peer support model to their project framework. The case management and peer support the project provides aims to increase identity, connection to traditional culture, spirituality, and support healing in Indigenous Youth. This Integrated Youth Services Hub supports youth by developing individualized care plans and monitoring of the attainment of service goals. Beyond one-to-one support the program also provides a safe and supportive place for youth ages 12-24 to get health, mental health and social care from a trustworthy multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, mental health therapists and social workers. The project also provides outreach, skills training, advocacy, group programming and referrals to external supports.
