Our Principles
- We provide a coordinated system of mental health services to children, youth and their families, that ensure the greatest possible benefit to children's mental wellness in or as close to the home community as possible.
- We provide services to all children and youth in need in the context of their family and we respect their diversity.
- Clients have the right to expect services that are available, accessible, flexible, responsive and accountable.
- We provide services that promote and encourage autonomy rather than dependency.
- We believe that prevention of mental health difficulties is a form of intervention and a significant component of the services offered by the Centre. As such, the Centre will promote prevention within the community whenever and wherever possible, as well as within the activities of the Centre.
- We are committed to children's mental wellness through pro-active strengthening of partnerships in our community.
