Crisis Intervention
The Community Response Program provides four integrated mental health and family support services for children and youth (under 18) and their families. These services offer timely intervention, crisis stabilization, family capacity building, coordinated service planning, and support for youth involved with child welfare.
Crisis Response Service
Provides immediate assessment and short-term intervention for children and youth experiencing urgent mental health crises. Focuses on safety planning, de-escalation, brief therapeutic support, and connecting families to ongoing services.
Parent/Caregiver Support Service
Offers brief, evidence-informed support to families of youth with mental health concerns. Helps caregivers build skills, increase understanding, access peer and community supports, and strengthen family capacity, even when the youth is not directly involved.
Case Management & Service Navigation
Supports youth with complex needs by coordinating services across providers, developing and monitoring service plans, facilitating communication, and ensuring smooth transitions within or out of the mental health system.
Adolescent Differential Response (ADR) Service
Works with youth involved with child welfare to improve safety, stability, and well-being. Provides assessment, crisis stabilization, collaborative service planning, and coordination to reduce investigations, prevent youth from entering care, and strengthen family functioning. Referrals may only be accepted by the Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Aid Society.
Please call. Referrals accepted from all sources, including self-referrals.
