In Crisis? If you or your child/youth are at immediate risk of harm to yourself or others, call 911 or proceed to the Emergency Department.
We know raising a child is rewarding but can also be challenging. For parents and caregivers, it can be hard to know how to support a child or youth who is struggling with mental health or addiction issues. We are here to support you and your loved one through this journey. It is important to know that your child or youth is not alone. There are local resources available to help.
When you reach out for help, you can expect to be met with empathy, understanding, and support. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff will listen to what you are going through and offer guidance on the various options you and your child or youth can explore. No concern is too big or too small. Our aim is to provide you with next steps and a path to move forward.
Free counselling is available through the RCC (Regional Children’s Centre) Counselling Clinic. They provide quick, confidential access to mental health services for children and youth (up to age 18) and their families/guardians. No referral is necessary, simply call 519-257-5437 (KIDS) to access this service.
