Timely Access Service

What is it? 

Our Timely Access program is a point of intake for children, youth and families, that offers a collaborative community approach to assess the need to access mental health services and other types of supports.  

Goals

• Identify strengths.
• Assess needs and risks.
• Collaboratively determine service options.
• Ensure that children, youth and their families receive the right service at the right time, and in the right place.

Who is it for?  

• Children, youth (up to the age of 18), families and their supports.

How to access?

• A call to the Centre to determine next steps.

Brief Services:

• Solution –focused sessions (in person, by phone or virtual) 

• Case Management and Service Coordination: consultation with other professionals and agencies who are also involved with your child and family; referrals to other services in the community 

• Referral to Tele-Mental Health (access to child psychiatric consultations by video conference) 

• Linkage to the Huron Perth Helpline and Crisis Response Team for situations for which crisis intervention may be needed
