About this service
The Aboriginal Child and Youth Mental Health Program is a partnership project between the Okanagan Nation Alliance and the Ooknakane Friendship Center funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development.
The program has an Aboriginal Developmental Clinician (ADC) and an Aboriginal Wellness Coordinator (AWC) who work together to ensure that Aboriginal children, youth and their families have early identification and treatment available to them while ensuring equitable and timely access to meaningful, appropriate, and culturally relevant mental health services.
The ACYMH program serves the South Okanagan communities. The area of coverage includes the four South Okanagan bands: Penticton, Osoyoos, Upper Similkameen and Lower Similkameen, and the urban Aboriginal population.
ONAs ACYMH Wellness Coordinator has three main functions:
- Provide Direct Service to Aboriginal children and youth (with the ADC)
- Mental Health Promotion
- Community Mental Health Coordination
