Mission Statement
Children’s Mental Health Ontario’s mission is to ensure all infants, children, youth, and families receive the mental health treatment they need within a high-performing system. The organization promotes a coordinated and high-quality care system that puts young people and their families first, advocating for the needs of those seeking mental health services in Ontario.

Geographic Focus
The organization operates across Ontario, Canada. It represents and supports a province-wide network of publicly funded child and youth mental health centres, ensuring services and advocacy reach families in every region of the province. There is no indication of national or international operations; the focus is strictly within Ontario.

Program Highlights
Children’s Mental Health Ontario works through a network of 85 member organizations that provide a range of services, including prevention, early intervention, counselling, therapy, addiction services, and intensive residential care. The organization also leads policy advocacy at the provincial level, publishes reports on mental health wait times, and creates resources for parents, youth, teachers, and professionals. Their 4,000-member workforce delivers free mental health support in person, by phone, and virtually across Ontario.
