Social workers have a broad scope of practice. At Coova, our social work services are delivered by graduate-level social workers who often serve as case managers, while bachelor-level social workers deliver direct clinical support — practicing alongside and under the supervision of the case manager leading your care. Your case manager remains your primary point of contact, holding the bigger picture and ensuring all social work support — whether counselling, crisis support, or system navigation — is integrated into one coordinated plan built around you.
Individualized Support, Where You Live
Our social work services provide clinically informed, relationship-based support delivered wherever you are — in your home, school, workplace, community, or alongside you during a hospital admission to attend care meetings and advocate on your behalf.
This flexibility is intentional. Real life doesn’t happen in a clinic, and neither does our care. Every social work service is delivered with a commitment to ethical practice, cultural humility, and client dignity — and integrated into the broader care plan your case manager is leading.
The goal is not only to manage challenges, but to strengthen relationships, build resilience, and create a clearer path forward through coordinated, community-based social work.

Social work services may not always be covered by MSP, but there may be more funding options available than you’d expect — including extended health benefits, EAPs, and private insurance plans. Navigating coverage can be confusing, and we’re here to help you get clarity on what applies to your situation.
Support is offered community-based and can take place in your home, schools, community spaces, or virtually depending on your needs.
Our social worker services are designed to complement, not replace, existing care. Your registered social worker collaborates with other clinicians involved in your treatment to ensure your support is cohesive and aligned with your broader care plan.
Both. Support can be structured around an individual or extended to the family unit, particularly where parent-teen conflict, caregiver stress, or relational dynamics are central concerns. During your initial consultation, we will help determine the configuration of support that best fits your situation.
A consultation is the best place to start. We take the time to understand your situation and whether this service is well-suited to your needs. If another form of mental health support would serve you better, we will be transparent and help you find the right direction.
