Dr. Benedicte Blain, psychologist

Online bilingual psychotherapy for children and adults

and parental coaching

Waitlist currently closed

The current pandemic has exposed the already inadequate mental health care system for children in Ontario. COVID-19 has disrupted children from their routines, exacerbating pre-existing mental health conditions and creating a catalyst for new ones.

Many families were waiting for services at CAFCO prior to COVID-19 and, with an expected increase in demand, wait lists have grown exponentially across the province. CAFCO is no exception.

In order to address this, CAFCO has had to make the very difficult decision to temporarily close our waitlist.

For any urgent needs, please call the Child, Youth, and Family Crisis line, available 24-7 for families with children 0-18 years of age, at (613) 260-2360.

Sincerely,
