Child & Parent Resource Institute

• They provide specialized, trauma-responsive mental health and developmental services to achieve best possible outcomes for Ontario’s children and youth.
• Services include Assessment, Consultation, Treatment, Research and Education

List of Services

• The Child and Parent Resource Institute (CPRI) provides a variety of highly specialized services to children and youth 0 – 18 years of age (and families) with complex mental health and/or developmental challenges. Services include assessment, treatment, consultation, education and research. They provide outpatient services to clients who come for scheduled appointments here at CPRI. They also provide service to clients in their own community. Community services are scheduled similar to scheduled appointments but do occur in the client's community.

  They also have 7 residential units on site where they provide residential services. Residential units vary by bed capacity (from 6 to 12), age, sex and needs of clients served on the unit. They provide residential services on a short term basis so children/youth are out of their home community for the least amount of time possible.

  There are no costs for programs. However, live-in programs are arranged through CSCN.
