Social Work Services Overview
At Your Counselling, our social workers bring with them a variety of personal and professional experiences, specialties, and unique perspectives. In our experiences, we have found the social determinants of health, which includes factors like finances, housing, access to community resources, and social supports, play a large role on a person’s mental health. We recognize that there are service gaps in our system which then creates additional challenges and barriers.
The purpose of our Social Work Clinic is to offer holistic and wrap-around care that not only promotes one’s mental health well-being, but also supports other areas of your life. We work with individuals and families to navigate what supports are right for them, through assessment, professional guidance, and clinical support. The conversation begins with a comprehensive assessment to capture all the variables impacting your life.. We utilize this information to create a treatment plan that is individualistic and targets your areas of concern, in a way that is manageable and realistic.
Program Overview
Accessing social work services is often challenging and requires referrals, eligibility screenings, and engagement with varying services. To reduce barriers for clients, Your Counselling’s Social Work Clinic offers accessible and timely appointments to a variety of services that you or your loved ones need. It’s ideal for individuals and families who are unable to access existing community supports, where services are unavailable, or where supports are difficult to access. The program’s goal is to address service gaps and reduce barriers, so that you and your family can access the support that you need. This service is open to anyone who needs support, reassurance, or simply someone to talk to when life feels overwhelming.
How to Access Services
To access the Social Work Clinic, individuals or service providers can contact our reception team at 403-668-7561 or email socialwork@yourcounselling.ca, indicating their interest in social work services.
Once your inquiry is received, our administrative team will arrange a consultation call with one of our social workers. During this call, the social worker will gather initial information, answer questions, and help identify which service areas best align with your needs.
Following the consultation, the social worker will schedule a comprehensive assessment session and send you the required intake and consent forms to complete beforehand. This assessment allows us to better understand your goals and develop a personalized plan to support you in managing your concerns.
