Intensive Services
Halton Intensive Program (HIP)
- Ages 9 to 11
- For children and youth dealing with social, emotional, and/or behavioural challenges. These challenges cause them to have difficulty in a typical school setting.
- The child may also be experiencing difficulties at home and/or in the community.
Linking Youth and Families
- Connects with teens and families experiencing high parent/teen conflict. The connection is made because without someone stepping in, it is likely the teen will be admitted to the care of the Halton Children’s Aid Society.
- If the teen does go into care, the program supports the youth with discharge and the return to home.
Mental Health Programs
Mental health concerns as well as Autism Spectrum Disorder can have a significant impact on one’s life. One out of five children/youth struggle with mental health issues that are severe enough to seriously affect their daily functioning at home, school or within the community. It can happen to any young person, regardless of age or circumstance. The causes are varied and complex. There is no one to blame and there should be no shame in it. Mental health problems are recognizable and can be treated.
Early intervention is critical to providing a hopeful and healthy future for kids dealing with mental health issues. The most common mental health disorders are anxiety, depression, attention deficit and behaviour.
Recognizing the signs is key. It can be difficult for a parent to distinguish between ‘normal’ problems that all children and youth experience from time to time, and behavior that may be indicative of a mental health disorder.
