Youth Programs at CMHA
(Ages 12 to 25)
Experiencing mental health issues or mental illness is not something to be ashamed of. If you’re looking for help, you’ve come to the right place.
We provide safe and confidential support through walk-in visits, ongoing individual counselling, and groups and workshops.
MOBYSS
MOBYSS is a mobile bus that brings free, confidential, and walk-in mental and physical health support directly to youth in a safe and welcoming environment. No referral needed for mental health counselling or nurse practitioner appointments.
Physical health care appointments are not available through the virtual clinic.
