The team consists of six child psychiatrists who collaborate in a patient‑ and family‑centered, team‑based environment.

Our acute inpatient unit has 21 beds. In the outpatient clinic we provide urgent referrals from the Emergency Department and family physicians, offering short‑term follow‑up psychiatric care supported by allied health, psychology and nursing staff. We also provide consultative services for non‑urgent referrals.
