Every young person’s experience and life is unique. That’s why we use a one-size-fits-one approach, tailored to the specific needs of each individual youth. This helps ensure that precise supports and care are made available at the right time for youth, based on their respective journey and specific needs.

Young people who are at risk of, or who are experiencing, homelessness, or those who have experienced human trafficking have complex needs that require whole-person care. Complex care is a person-centred approach that addresses the needs of people whose overlapping mental health, substance use, trauma, medical health, and other challenges require coordinated and specialized support.

Covenant House Vancouver offers a continuum of services that incorporate evidence-informed theories and practices to ensure that we care for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Services and programs range from Outreach and our Drop-In Centre to short- and long-term housing and support services, like counselling, that enable youth to successfully transition to independence. We work with youth individually to develop a case plan that is tailored to their specific needs and goals.

Providing whole-person care allows us to relentlessly support young people as we work to end youth homelessness and human trafficking.
