Caseworker Services

Case workers at SYA Services play a crucial role in assessing and assisting individuals and families. Their primary responsibility is conducting comprehensive assessments to understand the unique challenges clients face. These assessments help tailor support to the specific needs of each client, whether it’s academic difficulties, mental health issues, or family conflicts.

  • Assessment by case workers leads to immediate resource provision or referrals.
  • Resources range from individual counseling to crisis intervention.
  • For ongoing support, case workers engage in case management.
  • This includes regular counseling sessions and family interventions.
  • Decision on support type depends on issue severity, resource availability, client willingness, and program goals.
  • SYA Services’ flexibility allows tailored support to each client’s circumstances.
  • Goal: Empower youth and strengthen families with timely, relevant support.   
  • Referrals can be made by family members, principals, teachers, or anyone directly involved with the student.
