Provides a number of comprehensive prevention and intervention based programs geared to the unique needs of youth and young adults who are at risk.
CHANCE Mentoring Program (Allocations): This is a prevention program that matches high needs youth with adult volunteer mentors who work intensively with youth to accomplish specific goals directly linked to their own situation within a time limited relationship (usually 6 months).
Intersections (Allocations): An early intervention program for children and youth who are at risk of becoming justice or child welfare involved and provides supports to their families as needed.
Kairos Elementary School (Allocations): Provides counselling supports through outreach in elementary schools to support young people from grades 2-8 who are experiencing substance use related issues, either theirs or a family member. This service also works very closely with community partners for service coordination and referral.
Kairos Secondary School (Allocations): Provides counselling supports and specializes in treatment for youth who are experiencing any level of substance abuse, personally or with a family member. The program supports young people from grades 9-12 through outreach in secondary schools. In addition, Kairos staff attend group homes, learning centres, alternative education programs, and One Roof Youth Hub to reach more street engaged youth. Outreach is also provided to our rural communities and often require staff to make house calls in the area where transportation issues are particularly critical.
Rebound (Allocations): A 10-week cognitive skills program for youth aged 12 to 17 that offers youth the opportunity to learn important life skills. The purpose of Rebound is to help youth who are at risk and who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Activities inspire positive experiences and active participation.
