The Family, Child and Youth Clinic is located on Brock 5 of Kingston Health Sciences Centre's Hotel Dieu Hospital site. For children and youth under 18 years (and their families), this program offers treatment for anxiety, depression, autism, attention-deficit disorders, behavioural problems, family dysfunction, and other serious mental health concerns that have not improved with previous interventions.
At the initial intake, it is determined which services are required via consultation with a psychiatrist, or psychiatric resident/fellow. Children or youth presenting with urgent suicidal ideation or self-harm, are referred to our Urgent Consult Clinic. Children or youth presenting with eating disorders are referred to our Child and Youth Outpatient Eating Disorders Clinic. Less urgent referrals may be directed to access services from their local community children's mental health providers across southeastern Ontario.
