Family and Youth Clinic

Type Of Service

Counselling and Treatment - Mental Health

Program Description

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.
