Assessments and evidence-informed treatments are provided to children in conjunction with their families. Acute care is offered with a goal to ensure transition back into the community and connection with Child and Youth Programs is facilitated or to prevent hospitalization.

  • Work as part of a collaborative interdisciplinary team that may include other physicians, nurses, psychiatric nurses, client families, social workers, youth outreach workers and clinicians.
  • Work with children and youth who present to the ED or PEU, requiring urgent crisis-based psychiatric care and bridging to community-based resources in addition to youth who may require more intensive support due to clinical deterioration prior to consideration of admission to hospital.
  • Have a strong knowledge base in medication management and psychotherapeutic modalities.
  • Have experience in working with children and youth, their families, and the challenges that face these families.
