7-7teen – Family Mental Health

Highland Primary Care Network (HPCN) is pleased to offer a family-centered youth mental health program.

This program supports youth aged 7-17 and their families who are struggling with feelings of sadness, fear, experiencing tiredness, nervousness, trouble with focusing, overwhelming emotions or behaviours that are affecting life or relationships.

Using a combination of group, individual, and family appointments, the goals of the program are to help:

• • Youth and family realize they are not alone
  • Participants learn about signs, symptoms, and related challenges with feelings of anxiety, sadness, attention or behavioural concerns
  • Youth and family learn together new ways to improve their quality of life and build confidence to overcome life challenges
  • Offer support to others who might have similar experiences
  • Parents or caregivers learn what the youth is going through and learn effective ways to handle struggles right along with them
  • Navigate resources

How do you get into the program?

Please ask your family doctor if you think this program might help. Your doctor or health team member working with them will help you find the right care, by the right provider, at the right time for you. You can also call the Highland Primary Care Network at (587) 287-1727 for more information.
