If you live in Ontario and are worried about the immediate safety and mental health of a child - no matter what the time or day - you can call Youthdale's Psychiatric Crisis Services and speak with a trained professional. The phone number is (416) 363-9990.

The Crisis Service is staffed by a team of child psychiatrists, psychologists, a neurologist and neuropsychologist, registered nurses, psychiatric crisis counsellors, social workers and special educators.

Youthdale responds to each crisis call with a speedy intervention, including mobile response to the child's residence. Our clinicians focus on assessing and reducing a child's risk of harming himself or others, identifying underlying biological and psycho-social concerns, reinforcing family supports, and helping parents find additional help in their communities.

Youthdale promotes advocacy, education, and research regarding children's mental health needs. We are honoured to be the recipient of the Gold Award of the American Psychiatric Association.
