Assessment Services

Clients wishing to access services from our Agency are first assessed to determine their needs and level of risk. In addition to accessing information from other service providers, our Agency utilizes a number of standardized assessment tools depending on the age and service requirements of our clients. The Agency has a consulting psychologist who provides services to children, youth and families.

Counselling Services

Holistic counselling services assist clients with behavioural, emotional, employment, addiction and mental health issues. Individual and/or group counselling is provided to empower clients to resolve problems and increase their overall sense of well-being. Goals for change are negotiated and clients are encouraged to take an active role in the process. Consultation may include work with schools and other community agencies. When possible, parents are encouraged to participate in treatment planning and our parent support programs.

Day Treatment / Educational Services

These services help students who, because of behavioural, emotional and/or learning difficulties, are unable to benefit from a regular school program. These intensive services are provided in six specialized classrooms with treatment and educational components provided by a multi-disciplinary team. In partnership with the Grand Erie District School Board, our Agency provides a school program at the following locations:

• Roy Walsh Homes at 133 Elgin Street (2)
• Peter Willis Residence at 135 Elgin Street
• Varency Home at Jarvis Ontario
• Youth Action Centre at 466 Colborne Street (2)

The goals of the school program are to assist children and youth to develop academic, behavioural and social skills in order to re-integrate into a regular school setting and to ensure their education is not interrupted while in our care.

Crisis Services

The Mobile Crisis Response Service provides intervention service for children up to age 18 and their parents in Brant County. Trained counsellors are accessible 7 days a week, 24 hours per day.  The service can be accessed by calling  (519) 759-7188 or 1-866-811-7188.  The Mobile Crisis counsellors provide immediate telephone counselling and when necessary on-site intervention. Service includes: crisis counselling, referrals, support, advocacy, information and access to psychological consultation.

Community Treatment

Intensive counselling and/or skills training are provided to youth and adults with substance abuse and/or mental health issues, employment barriers, lifeskills requirements and parenting support. Trained counsellors provide services in schools and community settings.

Case Management

These services may be provided to clients and/or their families with multiple and diverse needs. Clients are supported in determining their service needs and encouraged to develop supports with other community service providers.
