Early Years

What is the Early Years Program?

The Early Years Program is a home, school and community based program that promotes healthy social and emotional development of children from birth to 6 years of age and their families. Services are customized to meet the individual needs of each child and family, matching the level of need with appropriate intensity of service. Hours of service are flexible and include both evenings and weekends.

The Early Years Program also provides consultation, support and training services to community programs who are involved with children from birth to six years of age.

Is the program right for your child?

This program may be helpful for you and your child (up to the age of 6) if your child has been identified as having mental health needs that require intensive intervention to maintain their functioning at home, school, and/or in the community.  Your family can benefit from parenting support and a non-traditional counselling approach.  The child:

  • is experiencing concerns in more than one area such as home, school, or community;
  • experiencing parent/child conflict such as separation, divorce or other parenting concerns; and
  • cannot leave the home – even going outside may be impossible.

 

What is the focus of Early Years?

The goal of Intensive Services is to:

  • Enhance social and emotional wellness;
  • Promote awareness and understanding of social and behavioural difficulties; and
  • Build family’s network of support

Early Years services include:
