Crisis Services

Crisis Services (non-emergency)

This is a short-term service dedicated to direct referrals for children/youth ages 6-17 years old from Bluewater Health and the SCCYS Intake. The service is a crisis intervention provided in a safe therapeutic environment. The therapist will use a solution-focused approach and will build on the family’s capacities/strengths to ensure the safety of the child/youth. Should further services be required, your clinician will consult with you regarding the various options and facilitate the process.

Please note that access to this service is by referral only.  This is not an emergency crisis service.  In the case of a crisis situation, children, youth, and their families can access the emergency department at Bluewater Health or contact the 9-1-1/police as appropriate.
