Families and adolescents will be asked to complete a comprehensive telephone interview with Centralized Intake
prior to an assessment. (Centralized Intake - 1-888-454-6275)

 

It is seen as critically important that Frontenac Youth Services remains closely linked to the larger clinical, education and social community.  All agencies involved with each adolescent are invited to Treatment Review meetings and regular contact is maintained with school personnel, Probation Officers and Children's Aid Society Workers.

Staff members of the Community Services Program treat Outpatient families in addition to families of the adolescents involved in the Residential and Day Treatment Programs.

Treatment adjustments can be made with agreement from all parties, with the input from both the parents and adolescent being considered a vital part of the planning.
