Children's Mental Health Ontario Information

Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO) is the association representing Ontario’s publicly-funded Children’s Mental Health Centres. With the combined strength of our members, we advocate for government investments, policies and programs that are responsive to the needs of children, youth and families seeking mental health services in Ontario. Our primary goal is to promote a coordinated and high quality system of care that puts children, youth and families first. CMHO’s nearly 100 member organizations operate in every region of the province, providing treatment and support to children, youth and families. This includes targeted prevention, early intervention, short- and long-term counselling and therapy, and intensive services such as residential care.
