Child and Adolescents - Overview

Overview

We all experience problems that can affect our wellbeing. While sometimes when we can deal with these problems ourselves, there are times when we could use some support. 

Understanding your needs as well as those of your child and family lies at the heart of what we do. We know it can be difficult to ask for help, explain what you feel as a parent or even know what kind of support your child might need. This is where we come in. Our clinicians work with your child, your family or your community (school) based on our understanding of your concerns and support you throughout the journey. 

We understand that childhood, adolescence and the years of early adulthood can be times of extraordinary physical, emotional and intellectual growth. Emotional and mental challenges as well as adjustments are an important part of these years. However, sometimes these mental health issues tend to become overwhelming and interfere with growth and day-to-day functioning. 

Some of these mental health areas and issues can be listed as:

  • Treatment for psychological, cognitive, emotional, developmental and behavioural issues
  • Biological vulnerabilities
  • Behavioural, psychological, mental, emotional, developmental and family problems 
  • Cognitive deficits
  • Trauma and loss
  • Health-related problems
  • Stress and coping related to developmental change
  • Social skills-related difficulties
