Our Mental Health Support Workers have applied to the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers to be regulated as Social Work Technicians. They are insured and follow the Scopes of Practice established by the Association for both Social Workers and Social Work Technicians. These paraprofessionals are skilled in assisting counsellors and providing hands-on interventions through case plans created and monitored by a registered social worker, with the goal of helping clients achieve optimal social functioning and well-being.
