Social Work

Social workers support individuals and families to improve well-being and build resilience. Our social work services often involve benefit and housing advocacy, increasing social connections, parenting support, employment preparation, refugee resettlement, and supporting children in schools. Social workers often liaise with other agencies such to assist clients in accomplishing their goals. Our social work services are free to all clients.

How do I get support?

If you would like to make an appointment or refer someone to our service, please contact our office. We will ask our intake coordinator to contact you directly to see how our social work team may be able to assist. There are times when we have a wait list for our services; we will do our best to get you an appointment as soon as possible or refer you to another appropriate agency.
