In-School Services

Crossroads Children’s Mental Health Centre provides school-based treatment that combines education and treatment to help children whose emotional and behavioural difficulties are affecting their ability to learn and function in the classroom.

Intensive Services/Day Treatment:  Education and treatment for children in the classroom.

Day treatment is a one to two-year program for children who, because of their mental health concerns, are unable to be successful in a regular classroom. Working in partnership with M.F. McHugh Schools, Crossroads operates eight classrooms at St. Luke Catholic School.  The day treatment team provides a combination of education and mental health treatment, so children can build skills that will help them return to — and thrive at — their community school.

Depending on the child’s needs, we will work with them to develop social skills, self-regulation skills, and problem-solving skills. We may also provide more intensive treatment for serious anxiety and other mental health problems.

Parents/caregivers who believe their child would benefit from this program should contact the principal of their child’s school.

School-Based Mental Health Program:   It is not uncommon for children to experience mental health challenges while at school.  Working closely with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) and the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB), the School-Based Mental Health team delivers mental health services for children in 14 schools across Ottawa.

The team works with children that are identified by teachers and principals. With parent/caregiver consent we help them build the skills they need to succeed within their regular school environment.

Referrals to the School-Based Mental Health program are made through teachers and principals at these participating
