The primary role of the worker is to provide time-limited services to stabilize the situation and determine the need for further service. Counselling and Therapy Services Includes a series of planned inter-related interventions focused on reducing the severity of and/or remedying the emotional, social, behavioral, and self-regulation problems of children and youth ages 0 to 18 years of age.
