Mission Statement
Crossroads Children’s Mental Health Centre works exclusively with children up to the age of 12 and their families. We are committed to developing and delivering a wide range of mental health services to help children and families struggling with severe emotional, behavioural and social challenges.
Vision
Crossroad’s vision is of a community where every child under the age of 12 receives treatment for even the most severe mental health challenges. No case is too complicated, complex or severe. We never give up on a child.
Guiding Philosophy
At Crossroads, we offer individualized, inclusive services for children in the least restrictive environment, with families fully involved in the care process. Our approach emphasizes early identification, smooth transitions, and non-discriminatory practices based on the Ontario Human Rights Code. We are committed to evidence-based practices, ongoing research, and professional development to enhance outcomes.
Core Values:
- Child-centered, family-focused, and community-based services.
- Culturally competent and inclusive support.
- Evidence-based care driven by research.
- Collaboration with partners in the Ottawa region to provide coordinated services.
Crossroads is dedicated to helping children thrive through inclusive, high-quality care.
