Youth Mental Health

Community Care Access Centres (CCAC) help provide home care, which are services at home for those recovering from illness or injury, and for those with chronic illness or disability.  CCACs also provide in-school services to children with disabilities so they can fully participate in school.   Services may include case managers, community support workers, social workers, psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists and even cleaning staff, who can visit an individual at home to provide help with daily living (e.g. meals, groceries, finances). Assertive community treatment (ACT) team members may also conduct home visits.   To find your closest CCAC anywhere in Ontario, you can contact the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care at 1 (800) 268-1154.
