Adolescent Outreach Services

Adolescent Outreach Services (AOS) is an expansion of the CaperBase model, which originated in Cape Breton. AOS focuses on providing:

  • Brief and Early Intervention
  • Screening
  • Outreach
  • Community Partnerships

The AOS model is set up for youth aged 12-19 years of age (grade 6 to 12) at risk of mental health or substance use concerns.

Our Adolescent Outreach Workers engage with youth in their own settings (primarily school- based); providing the early intervention services through group and one-on-one interventions; providing connection and/or a referral to other supports that youth may require.

AOS is 100% confidential.
