NON-TRADITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICE FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS AGED 13-25
Anam Rural Youth Provides person-centered, non-clinical, non-traditional, One On One support.
Anam (On-um) Rural Youth Association provides a mobile, trauma-integrated, crisis intervention, psychological first aid approach support service to marginalized, at-risk, and system-disconnected 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.
