Mental Health Services

Mental health impacts the entire family.  At the George Hull Centre, we provide mental health services that address the needs of the child in the context of their family.  By helping children and strengthening families we make a difference and improve lives.

Meeting the Needs of Children and Families

We know that anxiety levels are steadily increasing and more than half of the children and youth who present for service at the Community Clinic say they are having problems with anxiety.There are also concerns that suicide rates among youth are rising and visits to emergency departments have nearly doubled in the last 10 years related to self harm and suicidal thinking. Ten percent of the youth who come to the Community Clinic struggle with thoughts of suicide and self-harm.

Mental Health Services include:

• Counselling Services, including assessment and treatment planning, individual, group and family therapy
• Day Treatment Services – educational and therapeutic interventions in small classroom settings for adolescents
