“…In response, many placement opportunities were supported and supervised within the university. Most of these university-led placement opportunities encompassed student-led learning opportunities, research projects ( Lomas et al, 2022 ; Morley & Clarke, 2020 ), or simulations, in which students engage with actors in the role of client, as an alternative to field placements ( Jefferies & Mason, 2021 ; Kourgiantakis et al, 2019 ; Kourgiantakis & Lee, 2020 ; Tortorelli et al, 2021 ).…”

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. Purpose: 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. Method: Qualitative data from interviews, focus groups, and qualitative surveys involving service users, social work students, referring school board and university professionals ( n = 37) were examined. Results: Demand for SAFE extended beyond the pandemic. A high-level of acceptance of SAFE was identified. Areas of success and considerations for implementation are outlined. Discussion: This study provides practice guidance on implementing this unique program, with potential to address gaps in service provision and the ongoing crisis in field education.
