Intensive Services
In collaboration with community and federal sources, Ifarada offers intensive services focused on intervention and prevention. The intensive services seek to support children, youth, parents, adults, and families who may require specialized, frequent, and collaborative services that can improve their outcomes and reduce the risk.
Intensive services include support navigating the child welfare and education system, engagement with youth involvement with the criminal justice system, intervention services for youth with emotional-social-behaviour challenges, and advocacy in mental health.

Civic Engagement
Our civic engagement and advocacy programs prepare youth with the skills to use their voice and discuss issues that are pertinent to their experiences.
