Mental Health for Youth
Discussing Mental Health & Anxiety for Youth in Grades 7-12 Learn how to support teenagers with stress and anxiety next week, on Thursday, March 14 from 6:30 - 8 p.m. Our partners from AHS will clarify the
language around mental health and provide effective coaching strategies to help youth manage their stress and anxiety. This online event, run by CBE's well- being team, is open to all staff and parents/guardians in and outside the CBE.
Mental Health Resource | The Summit
The Summit is designed and built to provide mental health services for children and youth. The centre offers therapeutic support through a day hospital and community- based treatment. It also provides walk-in services for anyone under 18 years of age and their family who would like to speak with a counselor. Walk-in services do not require a referral.
When in crisis, families can see a psychologist and be assessed where they will make a plan and can also connect them to resources in the community. They also have a sexual health program available on a walk-in basis.
Address: 1015 – 17th Street NW Calgary, AB
