Team  Serving diverse communities across the Okanagan and West Kootenay regions, our Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) teams provide comprehensive mental health services that are tailored to local needs. We work collaboratively with Indigenous communities, schools, and health authorities to deliver culturally informed, client-centered care.
Our teams are known for their commitment, creativity, and strong partnerships—and for supporting each other in providing high‑quality, compassionate services.

Role  As a CYMH Clinician on our team, you’ll provide direct clinical services including intake services, assessment, treatment, suicide risk assessment, safety planning, and crisis intervention for ages 0‑18. You will work closely with team members, community agencies, schools, hospitals, and other ministry programs to provide comprehensive care, including individual, group and family therapy for children, youth, and families. You will have the opportunity to work with a supportive and passionate team to make a meaningful positive difference in the lives of children, youth, and their families facing emotional and behavioural challenges.

This role is ideal for those who value meaningful client relationships, teamwork, and lifelong learning. To learn more about the role and what it’s like to be part of our CYMH teams, we invite you to watch our short
