There will soon be three new mental health walk-in clinics in the City, one at Delisle Youth Services at Yonge St. and Eglinton Ave. The information was released today by Olivia Heffernan, 26, youth engagement facilitator with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in comments to the CBC. The other two clinics will be near Danforth Avenue and Woodbine at a new ‘What’s up’ walk-in at the South East Toronto Family Health Team and at Markham and Ellesmere Roads at the ‘What’s up’ walk-in at East Metro Youth Services in Scarborough. The Scarborough location is open while the other two will open in July. The clinics are designed for patients 11 to 25 and offer access to “solution-focused therapy, peer support, system navigation, access to Internet-based tools and on site access to psychiatric services.”
