What is Counselling for Youth & Children?

Counselling for Children and Youth is available as a support for Children and adolescents that have experienced challenging life experiences that may cause emotional distress.

Children and adolescents experience similar mental health conditions to adults. Stress, Anxiety, and Depression can have an impact on how children and youth function on a daily basis.
