What to expect from child and youth mental health services during COVID-19
Protecting children, youth, families, staff and the community from COVID-19 is important to child and youth mental health and addictions providers.
To help with this, changes have been made to how most services are being offered. Most services are now available by telephone or virtually. Some services are beginning to open for face-to-face appointments. Other services have been reduced or closed for the time being. Crisis services continue to be available.
If you aren't sure what is happening with your services, contact your provider directly.
