CHILD & YOUTH COUNSELLING
The Child & Youth Counselling Program offers individual clinical counselling and group counselling services to urban Indigenous children, youth, and families impacted by complex trauma. SCCFS individual and group counselling services aim to address mental health and wellness using a blend of Indigenous modalities of healing and Western counselling interventions. The SCCFS Counselling Program provides clinical support to families and works alongside other community supports, such as schools, to help improve the child’s wellbeing. The program also strives to include the regular participation of Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and community Elders.
Children, youth, and families who are waiting for mental health treatment services are invited to connect with the agency’s clinician to learn more about strategies for crisis response, stabilization, and preparing for the healing journey.
*Note: this is NOT an open referral service; referrals are only accepted internally.
If you are a child or youth and would like to talk to someone call the Helpline for Children at 310-1234.
