Youth with ASD can access up to three individualized 1-hr consultations with a registered psychologist experienced in working with youth having ASD and mental health difficulties.
Participants will complete mental health screening questionnaires prior to the first appointment. Presenting concerns could be challenges with anxiety, stress, depression, anger or emotion regulation.
A strength based, cognitive behavioural approach will help children and youth to problem solve, to discover new coping strategies and to determine next steps for support in their home community.
Service is inclusive for youth age 12 through 17, with ASD and below average or greater cognitive abilities. Youth should demonstrate interest in talking to someone about their challenges.
With youth consent, caregivers are welcome to join, although the ultimate goal would be having the youth attend on his or her own.
