Youthdale is a non-profit, charitable community agency funded by the Ministry of Community, Family and Children's Services. Our organization is run by a central administration and overseen by a public Board of Directors.

We provide a wide spectrum of clinical services, ranging from outpatient consultation and residential treatment to psychiatric crisis response. Our mandate also includes research into new approaches for helping troubled youth and their families.

We offer a "continuum of treatment", where integrated services simplify access and allow families to focus on their children's well-being.

We serve all children and families, regardless of race, creed, ethnic origin or the family's financial circumstances. Wherever possible, we adapt our treatment environment to support a child's religion, heritage and cultural identity.

Though many of the children and families who come to us face complex challenges, they also bring their strengths and the capacity for growth and change. Our goal is to help each one of them realize their potential as self-sufficient, contributing members of society.
