Adolescent Team
The Adolescent Team is a service developed in partnership with Peel Children’s Aid, Associated Youth Services of Peel (AYSP) and Peel Children’s Centre – Peel Wraparound Process.
The Adolescent Team offers a variety of service options for families who are involved with Peel Children’s Aid where risk factors are related to parent-adolescent conflict and the youth is at risk of removal from the home.
The AYSP Adolescent Team Youth Worker will assist youth in setting goals related to family, school, safety, independence skills and social skills, and will support youth in achieving their goals through one-to-one counselling, social skills development, encouraging participation in community activities and through the development of support networks.
The AYSP Adolescent Team Family Worker will provide family counselling, including behaviour management, problem-solving strategies, communication and relationship-building skills.
The AYSP Family Worker and Youth Worker will work together with the youth and parents/caregivers to decrease family conflict and build positive relationships.
