Case Management

A newcomer family or individual typically works with a complex-case worker for weeks or months to collaboratively develop an action plan aimed at reducing identified settlement and integration barriers. With the support of the complex-case worker, the client will take manageable steps towards addressing those barriers. In some cases, a team-based wraparound process is used.

One of the first steps taken by newcomer families is to enroll their children in school. Children are then faced with unique integration challenges: they need to make new friends, learn English, and understand the curriculum content that is designed for the Alberta context.
