Our charitable partner: Niagara's Pathstone Foundation
It can be frustrating when your child is struggling with a mental health issue or may be in crisis and you don’t know where to go for help.
At Pathstone Mental Health, their mission is to provide innovative and effective treatment for all children in Niagara diagnosed with mental health issues from birth until their 18th birthday.
Nothing is more important than your child’s health and you need a safe place where they will be heard and get the treatment they need.
Over the past two years, Pathstone opened nine walk-in clinics across Niagara to better serve Niagara Region. These clinics offer immediate support with a Pathstone counsellor without a referral, cost or health card needed.
For more information on their services, visit www.pathstonementalhealth.ca
