Child & Youth Mental Health
Ministry of Children and Family Development
Child and Youth Mental Health Services (CYMH) provides a wide range of direct and contracted community-based specialized mental health services to children and youth under the age of 19 and their families on a voluntary basis.
Program Information
Our publicly-funded Child and Youth Mental Health teams provide a range of assessment and clinical counselling treatment options for children, youth (0-18 years) and their families.
Our programs are designed to support children and youth who are experiencing significant difficulties related to their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
CYMH supports family capacity skill-building activities that engage and empower families to be active partners in supporting responsive relationships with their child or youth, to strengthen the core life skills needed to become healthy functioning adults, and to reduce sources of stress in the family.*
