What Are Outreach Services?
An innovative way of providing help for troubled teens while still
retaining supportive connections in their own community.
Many youth are resistant to seeing a counsellor, family therapist
or psychologist in a clinical office setting. Venture Academy's
"Counsellors to Your Door" approach is a great way to
engage withdrawn and resistant youth. One-on-one sessions are
held on common ground; in a coffee shop or park, or even while
engaging in a therapeutic rapport building activity.
This front-line service is delivered by a Venture Academy Youth
Counsellor or Substance Use Counsellor - an experienced yet youthful
support worker who knows what it takes to bond with the young
person and get to the core issues in a youth-friendly yet professional
manner.
What We Provide
Services can be used to help families reduce conflict and rebuild
relationships. Our counsellors can support youth in eliminating
substance use and becoming accountable and responsible for their
own actions. The supportive role of an outreach counsellor may
also include assisting youth in examining peer relationships,
participating in healthy recreational activities, attending school
or finding work etc.
