About Safetynet

Safetynet Charities is launching a strengths-based family support program for families with children and youth in Halton Region. The program delivers practical skill-building, coaching, and resource navigation over approximately 8–12 sessions per family. This is not a clinical psychotherapy or mental health treatment program — it is non-clinical, community-based family support.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking proposals from registered agencies that can provide qualified Child and Youth Workers (CYWs) and/or Social Service Workers (SSWs) to deliver one-hour in-home sessions with families across Halton Region. This is a company-to-company service contract — we are not hiring an individual.

Services to Be Delivered

Your workers will:

• Provide strengths-based, goal-oriented family support in clients’ homes or in our offices
• Support parents and caregivers with communication strategies, routines, and behaviour supports
• Work with children and youth on social skills, emotional regulation, and problem-solving
• Facilitate family goal-setting and track progress across sessions
• Provide psychoeducation and practical tools related to child and youth development
• Connect families to community resources and regulated clinical services when needs exceed program scope
• Maintain accurate session notes and outcome documentation aligned with our program reporting requirements

Please note: Workers will not provide psychotherapy, mental health diagnosis, psychological assessment, or crisis intervention for acute mental health emergencies.
