A Feasibility Study of the SAFE Pilot Program: A University-School Board Partnership in Ontario.

The Support and Aid to Families Electronically (SAFE) pilot program was developed through a community-university partnership to support parents of elementary students in Ontario, while providing stable practicums for social work students in the midst of COVID-19 restrictions. The aim of the current study was to examine the feasibility of the SAFE pilot program as a mental health support to families by examining three feasibility objectives: demand, acceptably, and implementation. Qualitative data from interviews, focus groups, and qualitative surveys involving service users, social work students, referring school board and university professionals ( = 37) were examined.
