Compass Mental Health
Compass Mental Health is a province-wide service that supports community care providers with the information, advice and resources they need to deliver appropriate and timely care to all children and youth (up to 25 years of age) close to home.
Through Compass Mental Health, health-care providers receive specialist guidance to support patient care.
Services include:
- Telephone advice and support
- Identifying and helping you connect to local and online resources
- Telehealth consultation, when needed
- Tailored education, including Compass toolkits
Providers: if you are unsure whether or not to refer a patient to a BC Children's Hospital's mental health program, or if you are supporting a child or youth who is currently on a waitlist for care, please contact Compass Mental Health for additional support and consultation.
