SKY Safe Kids & Youth Coordinated Response

Phone: 250-551-1126
Email: sky@thekoop.ca
Website: https://skykids.ca/
Communities Serviced: Castlegar, Trail, Salmo, New Denver/Nakusp, Nelson, Kaslo
Age Range: Children, Youth
Areas of Practice: The SKY Coordinated Response is a “made in the West Kootenay” rural adaptation of a Child & Youth Advocacy Centre. It provides a collaborative response to children and youth aged 18 and under who have experienced abuse, reducing the potential for system-induced trauma. In each SKY community, we have child-friendly rooms where a child or youth can be interviewed by a specially trained interviewer in a way that reduces the trauma experienced by having to tell their story. The interview is recorded, so that, with consent, other investigative agencies can access the interview, preventing kids from telling their story repeatedly. Our MDTs consist of police, Ministry of Children and Families (MCFD), victim services, child and youth counselors, school partners, health services, Indigenous supports, and our SKY Coordinator.
Counseling Modalities: Our SKY Coordinator works to explain SKY to families, ensure they are getting all the support they need, and keep the MDT coordinated. They also help to schedule and organize SKY interviews.
