Engage Services

Engaging families to grow through supportive services in their community.

Engage Services is a process where the strengths, culture and challenges of a youth and their family are identified, and a plan is developed that provides both formal and informal supports to assist the youth and their family to have safety, stability and success.

Our beliefs:

The family should remain together while maintaining family safety.

Families are full partners in their treatment and are the “experts” of their family.
