Intensive Child and Family Service (for children 7 to 17 years of age)Our Intensive Child and Family Service provides intensive, individualized treatment for children/youth with complex mental heatlh issues.
Who is eligible for this service?
In general, our service is for children/youth, aged 7 to 17, who:
- may be at risk of harming themselves or others,
- may be about to lose their placement at home, in school, or in childcare,
- have moderate-to-severe functioning impairment at home, in school, or in the community,
- live in environments where they may be exposed to violence, physical, sexual or emotional abuse, alcohol or other substance abuse, and/or
- live with caregivers with mental health issues.
Our service helps families who:

- have poor problem-solving skills, and
- have been unable to benefit from traditional agency services.
What do we do?
First, our multi-disciplinary team meets with the child/youth and their family for intensive counselling in our Step In Clinic. Then, in consultation with the child/youth and their family, our clinicians develop a treatment plan that focuses specifically on their personal needs and strengths.
Treatment may include:
- crisis intervention,
- individual and family therapy,
- support for parents in the home, skills training, or group services,
- advocacy and collaboration with other service providers, and
- psychological and psychiatric assessments and consultations.
