Outreach workers | Umbrella outreach workers follow a client-centered approach in all interactions. Often, clients need peer support, and Umbrella is there to offer an attentive ear, and to offer comfort and consolation to those in distress. On other occasions, clients require help with problem-solving the day-to-day demands of living, including issues involving finances, employment, relationships, and other every day matters that sober life entails. And, of course, outreach teams frequently help clients navigate a bewildering system of services and resources which span multiple government agencies, and several private organizations. Outreach workers direct clients to appropriate mental health supports (e.g. counselling, Early Psychosis Intervention, etc.), government services (e.g. income assistance, disability, I.D., etc.), and community supports (e.g. legal, employment, medical, shelters and housing, etc.). Finally, outreach workers also refers clients as needed to Detox, supportive recovery, sober living and residential treatment. |
