Mental Health Assessment
Mental health assessments are used to explore social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties that are causing significant concerns about your child. These difficulties may also be getting in the way of your child’s ability to cope and navigate life successfully. These assessments may be used to make a decision as to whether their mental health challenges can be accounted for by additional diagnoses such as anxiety, mood, or obsessive-compulsive disorders. Recommendations are made to inform treatment planning and enable access to appropriate supports at school, home, and in the community.
