Diagnosis
Diagnosis of a severe emotional or mental illness requires the input and expertise of several health care professionals, including your family doctor, psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health specialists. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, your child can be referred to the Family Based Mental Health Service program. As soon as that occurs, our treatment team will reach out to the family to begin the healing process.
A qualified professional, such as a family doctor, social worker or school administrator, can refer families to the program. Families can also refer themselves. If a diagnosis has not been made prior to the referral, our team can help families access the services they need to determine if their child suffers from a severe emotional or mental illness and is eligible for this intensive program.
