Intake Process

Once a referral is accepted and a match in service assessed, our Intake Coordinator will contact the young person’s referring counselor to estimate an approximate intake date, forward the Pre-Intake information requests to the client, caregiver/parent, referring agent and arrange to speak with the youth directly. A pre intake meeting with be set either in person, over video or the phone. The pre-intake meeting is a chance for youth to get more information about the program and for us to get to know more about the youth before they come in.
