YWHO Core Components
The YWHO model of integrated youth service delivery now has six core components. Core components are the essential functions, principles, and activities required for an intervention to achieve its desired outcomes. Through research and direct practice, the YWHO team has been able to determine the critical and observable features that need to be in place for each hub site. The current articulation of the core components attempts to remove duplication and identify clearer required practices. This reorientation centers anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, engagement, and inclusion of youth and family voices across all components:
- Youth & Family Engagement
- Integrated Governance & Partner Collaboration
- Accessibility
- Inclusive & Culturally Diverse Services
- Integrated Service Delivery
- Measurement-Based Care
YWHO Core Component Practice Profile
The practice profile outlines minimal versus optimal implementation practices for each core component of the YWHO model. YWHO sites work with the YWHO Provincial Office to implement these evidence-based and evidence-generating components. By implementing these core components with fidelity, we can ensure that youth and their families are receiving the best possible quality of care irrespective of the YWHO site they access.
