Child and Youth Mental Health
“Approximately one in five children and youth in Ontario has a mental health challenge. About 70% of mental health challenges have their onset in childhood or adolescence. That’s why early identification and intervention is so critical and can lead to improved achievement in school and better health outcomes in life.”
The CSCHN offers a range of programs and services focusing on prevention, awareness and treatment of mental health issues for children, teens and their families.
All our mental health counsellors are members of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers or the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
Our services are free and confidential.
