Provided by Act 2 Child And Family Services

Offers counselling to children, youth, and their family or caregivers who are in need of a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship to assist in resolving emotional and behavioural difficulties arising from traumatic experiences.
  • Clinical Counselling: The Clinical Counselling Program helps children and youth address the emotional and behavioural issues arising from traumatic events such as sexual abuse, violence, family breakup, death of a loved one and other grief and loss issues. There is no cost to participants but a referral through Ridge Meadows or Tri-Cities office of the Ministry of Children and Family Development is required, except for sexual abuse counselling which may be accessed without a referral.
  • Sexual Health in Family Treatment (SHIFT): Young children who exhibit sexually intrusive behavior and other sexual behaviour problems, beyond usual curiosity and developmentally appropriate sexual exploration, can find help in our SHIFT (Sexual Health in Family Treatment) program. This is a behaviour intervention program directed to children 11 years of age and under. Referrals to the program are made through the Tri-Cities Child and Youth Mental Health Office and, in Ridge Meadows, through the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) offices. There is no cost for this program.
  • Sexual Abuse Intervention Program (SAIP): The Sexual Abuse Counselling Program treats children and youth who have been abused, in a safe and supportive environment and caring therapeutic relationship that promotes healing. Counselling techniques involving art, play, and talk are effectively used to help children by the abuse. Parents, family members and other people close to the child are also welcomed into the counselling sessions.
  • Self-Referral Program: Counselling services are available to children and youth 18 years of age and younger who have experienced sexual abuse and who live in the Ridge Meadows or Tri-Cities community. Counselling for our self-referred clients involves weekly, one-hour sessions for up to nine months. Download the SELF form here.
