School Initiatives
Coaches
In partnership with The City Centre Education Project and Jasper Place & Alberta Mental Health Capacity Building Pilot Initiative, our school based services provides coaches (Success Coach and Aboriginal Commitment Coach) who work with individual youth to build a healthier sense of self, awareness of capabilities, and experience a successful school placement. Coaches work in school settings and the community building therapeutic relationships through the process of role modeling, mentoring, supporting and advocating.
Program Goals:
