Mental Health & Substance use Services

Our counsellors are available during drop-in hours to assist young people with their concerns. Counselling may lead to a referral for specialized service if the young person feels this would benefit them. These services are available Monday-Friday between 3:00pm-6:00pm.

Primary Care (Physical Health)

Primary care services are available virtually via telephone/video calls during regular drop in hours (1-5pm – last patient by 4:30). We are open Mondays to Fridays and closed on weekends and statutory holidays.

Please call 604 806 9415 if you would like to make a virtual appointment or to speak with a health care provider during the drop in hours. If the health care provider feels you need an in person assessment, they will book you an appointment.

Intensive Case Management

Our intensive case management team (ICM) accepts referrals for young people requiring more intensive and specialized mental health and substance use support. All young people receiving ICM services are connected with a case manager and psychiatrist specializing in youth/young adult mental health and substance use.

The ICM team members check-in with youth regularly on an out-reach basis to see what is going on in their life, develop care plans, and link them with the centre’s resources and community services to support their treatment and recovery goals.

Peer Support

Peer support workers with lived experience provide young people with help and support. They are available onsite during walk-in hours and can help young people on their path to wellness.

Income Assistance

Our Income Assistance workers are able to help youth with their finances in a multitude of ways. These include supporting them with income assistance, disability applications or by explaining the many other services that young people may qualify for, such as employment training.

Please call ahead to find out when our income assistance worker is available or to book an appointment.
