HOW TO ACCESS THIS SERVICE?
All referrals are for children/youth who have an open file with CYMH, and come directly from the MCFD-CYMH clinicians or team leaders. After receiving a referral, we contact the family to discuss the program, and answer the family’s questions. An initial meeting is then set up, and the plan for service begins in the first meeting with the family.
HOW LONG DOES THE INTENSIVE FAMILY MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH SERVICE?
Service is intended to be very intensive and short term, however, duration and frequency depends on the individual needs and goals of each family. The goal is to transition when parents feel confident in their ability to support the youth in their care and the home environment has stabilized, or the family is ready for referral to other services or supports that will address ongoing strengths, needs, abilities and preferences.
