I am a professional referring someone
We welcome referrals from professionals supporting children and their families/caregivers, and youth up to their 18th birthday in Waterloo Region (For youth 18 or over, please contact Here 24/7 for service). We receive referrals from schools, doctors, hospitals and other social service providers. In order to refer a young person or family, the professional should provide them with details about our Service Access and encourage the family to call. Alternatively, you can fill in the forms below and send them to Front Door and we will follow up with you and the client directly.
When should you contact us?
We can help when a child or youth is experiencing mental health, emotional or behavioural problems (the child/youth does not need to have a mental health diagnosis). We use a single counselling and consultation session to work with children (and their parents/caregivers) and youth who are struggling with:
- Behaviour
- Emotions
- Self-harm
- Relationships (at home or school)
- School concerns
- Mental health concerns
And we can help them access other community services along with more intensive mental health treatment services when needed.
