What We Do
We Work in Partnership With Our Clients
As experienced mental health care professionals, we work with our clients and their families to determine what services are required and we provide ongoing review and follow-up as needed.
Common issues that we help youth deal with include physical and sexual abuse, school issues, violence, issues of grief and death, family conflict, separation and divorce, alcohol and drug misuse, depression, eating disorders, sexuality and suicidal and self-harming behaviours.
We have a number of programs to meet their needs and these include:
- A counselling service for youth and families
- A Walk-in Clinic
- Residential programs
- School-based mental health programs
- Counselling drop-in programs
- Intensive Services
- Group work services
- A Wraparound program that helps young mothers 'at risk' to obtain and maintain stable housing
- Two Wraparound programs that prevent child welfare clients from being admitted into care
- Young Parents of No Fixed Address
All services provided by Oolagen are free of charge. |
