Navigating the Youth Mental Health System

Understanding and attempting to access the right mental health services for your child and family can be overwhelming for the parent of a child or adolescent in distress. Even knowing where to start is daunting. By meeting with an expert clinician and family navigator from our Youth Mental Health Supports team, parents and caregivers gain knowledge and hands-on guidance to confidently access the resources and services needed to put their family at ease. 

Sibshops

Children who have siblings with disabilities and mental health challenges face life-long and complex emotional challenges. Sibshops, our recreational program for these children and teens, enables sharing of experiences in a supportive and non-judgmental environment with other siblings who understand, while also having the opportunity to have fun and unwind during recreational activities.
