Youth Outreach Plus

• Youth Outreach Plus provides tier 3, time limited and goal focused case management for youth aged 12-26. Youth Outreach Plus offers a one-on-one approach in working with youth to address their specific needs associated with mental well-being as well as emotional and physical safety.

• Youth Outreach Plus also offers consultation to Youth Outreach workers throughout the province. Consultation builds the capacity of Youth Outreach workers though offering ongoing support and problem solving.

• In consultation with their Youth Outreach Worker, Youth may decide that the supports of a Youth Outreach Plus worker could be helpful. The Youth Outreach worker will then facilitate the connection.

• Youth Outreach Workers can reach out to Youth Outreach Plus workers in their area for consultation as needed.

Youth Outreach Plus is available in CBRM, New Glasgow, Dartmouth/Halifax, Kentville.

PATH

As part of the PATH program, Family Service Nova Scotia offers case management support to youth aged 19-25 who have care experience through a connection with the Department of Community Services. This is accomplished through regular telephone check-ins. Connections to resources are offered upon request or when needs are identified during the check-in.

Youth are referred to Family Service Nova Scotia’s PATH program by Child and Family Well-Being.

Family Service Nova Scotia’s telephone PATH services are available to all youth referred to the program living within or outside of Nova Scotia.

Family Service Nova Scotia supports a phone line for youth connected to Youth Services. It is available 24 hours a day 365 days of the year.
