Anam (On-um) Rural Youth Association provides a mobile, trauma-integrated, crisis intervention, psychological first aid approach support service to marginalized and at-risk youth and young adults, aged 13-25, in the rural communities of Central Alberta.
Our distinctiveness lies in our unwavering commitment to delivering crucial services through a mobile platform. We travel to our clients, providing an informal, casual, person-centered approach that ensures accessibility for individuals who may not find traditional settings effective.
As part of our person-centered approach, we accompany our clients for a meal during our meetings, removing barriers to accessing support and eliminating additional stressors.
We are committed to removing barriers to accessing mental health support.
Our unique model makes a lasting impact on the mental health landscape for our youth and young adults.
“I can talk to you where I couldn’t talk to anyone before. You explain things in a way that makes sense.”
Our Vision
Empower youth and young adults to recognize their full potential.
Our Mission
Anam engages with marginalized & at-risk youth and young adults in building capacity for them to break negative cycles and behaviours fostering their ability to recognize their worth.
