The COMPASS Elementary Program strives to enhance partnership and engagement between families and service providers to promote student growth. We assist families in better understanding their child’s difficulties and finding new long-term solutions to tackle the challenges interfering with their child’s academic success.

Both children in an Intensive Out of Home Program with Lynwood Charlton or children rat home can access the program. Individual educational strategies, based on academic strengths, challenges, and performance levels are developed and implemented for each student. Clinical support is offered through various evidence-informed practices integrated into a weekly program with individual counselling, and multi-family group therapy sessions.

Our COMPASS Social Worker offers families an opportunity to address other struggles in their lives, including issues such as family dynamics and mental health. The social worker is also available to the family throughout the summer months.

Pre-discharge planning and post-discharge/transitional follow-up are seen as critical to the successful re-integration of the child to community schools. Upon transition, the COMPASS program will provide active staff coaching and participation with individual students in their receiving school environment. This support facilitates the child’s transition out of the on-site classroom to the mainstream school program.
