Counselling and Treatment - Mental Health
An outpatient program offering treatment for children/adolescents (0 – under 18 years) and their families where significant mental health difficulties are a primary concern. The primary focus is providing service when a youth’s day-to-day functioning is significantly impaired due to moderate or severe mental health illnesses including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, trauma, eating disorders, self-harming behaviours, attention-deficit disorders and suicidality.
The Family and Youth Clinic offers family and individual treatment, group therapy, psychiatric consultation, urgent care, a day treatment classroom, and eating disorder treatment.
The clinic also provides urgent short–term mental health follow-up to kids and families following a visit to the Crisis Unit. Parents and youth can typically expect a phone call from the Urgent Care Team within three business days of the Crisis Unit visit. Referrals from a pediatrician or a GP/NP are also accepted for youth who are experiencing urgent safety issues and/or sudden changes in functioning or mental status.
Referrals are accepted from medical professionals such as physicians, pediatricians, and nurse practitioners. Please note that the referral form must be completed in its entirety in order to be accepted.
