Summary

This project builds upon initial proof of concept work examining the optimal set of supports for youth who have recently exited homelessness - an intervention comprised of mental health and peer supports alongside transitional case management. This collaborative model will be tested as a proof-of-concept in Thunder Bay with Indigenous youth and a trial will be conducted in Toronto to optimize and determine the effectiveness of the existing model of support.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HOP-C

Service provision will be provided by Loft and Covenant House for the transitional case management component, the peer component will be supported through Sketch Arts, and the mental health component will be provided by a post-doctoral fellow clinical psychologist and a mindfulness therapist from the Centre for Mindfulness Studies, supervised by Dr. Sean Kidd.

BEHAVIORAL

Transitional Case Management Only

Participants in this arm will be provided with a transition-focused community support worker who will assist in areas ranging from general support and encouragement to assistance in navigating relevant systems. They will have weekly contacts with participants by phone, informal contact via text and email, and at least twice per month will visit the participant where they are residing. It is expected that all participants will engage a community support worker. The transitional case manager hired into this role will be highly experienced in case management for youth.
