Program Goal

We understand that keeping Indigenous youth within their communities and families is critical to their overall well-being and success. That's why we offer In-Home Support, a specialized program designed to provide culturally sensitive mental health and behavioural support services to Indigenous youth and their families within the comfort of their homes.

Our In-Home Support program aims to prevent Indigenous youth from being removed from their homes and communities for traditional mental health supports. Our goal is to provide support and resources to both the youth and their families to address and manage complex behavioural and emotional needs while remaining within their community.

We understand that traditional mental health supports can often be isolating and disruptive for Indigenous youth and their families. This is why our In-Home Support program is rooted in culturally appropriate practices that honour Indigenous values, traditions, and ways of knowing. We work closely with Indigenous communities to ensure that our support services are tailored to the unique cultural needs of each youth and their family.

Our In-Home Support team consists of experienced mental health professionals who are experts in working with Indigenous youth and families. We take a holistic and strengths-based approach to support and empower youth and their families to manage challenges and build resiliency. Our goal is to help youth and their families achieve their goals, improve their overall well-being, and strengthen their connections to their community and culture.

Through our In-Home Support program, we offer a range of services, including counselling, behavioural support, and life skills training. Our team works closely with families to develop a personalized plan of care that targets the unique needs of each youth. We provide ongoing support and monitoring to ensure that our services are effective and meeting the needs of the youth and their families.

At Obsidian Support Services, we believe that every youth deserves to grow up within their community, surrounded by their family, and with access to the support and resources they need to succeed. Our In-Home Support program is an essential component of our commitment to providing Indigenous youth with professional, individualized, and culturally inclusive support that fosters genuine positive foundational change lasting a lifetime.
