Supporting youth who are experiencing both substance use and mental health issues.
The concurrent disorders program provides services, information and support to youth who are experiencing a combination of emotional and/or psychiatric problems in addition to problematic substance use.
We have concurrent disorders therapists to support youth who:
- Receive services through child and youth mental health teams or
- Are receiving services at a community youth substance use services program
Youth concurrent disorders therapists work alongside the youth to provide assessment, planning, connection to psychiatry, and brief counselling.
