Parent Registration Youth Registration

What is it about?

The Government of New Brunswick (GNB) offers children and youth mental health services through various departments, now all of the services are contained in the Integrated Service Delivery program (ISD). What this means is when you receive help from a counselor, social worker, probation officer, doctor, and others – all these people are working for you and quite often the GNB is supporting  them in their work. Get more info here!

The Network of Excellence, a group overseeing the children and youth mental health experience for GNB, wants to learn from the families of children (under 12) and youth (13-17) who have received or tried to receive mental health services in NB. They want to know what is working, what is not working, and ideas on how to improve. Your stories and real life experience are essential to help GNB improve their service experiences. All the stories you share will be recorded in general notes and not identifying information will be captured. Your stories and ideas will be  shared internally within the Government of New Brunswick allowing its staff them to improve services and better support children and youth in accessing mental health service offerings in NB.

Where?

The evaluation consultation is taking place November to December  2018 and session will be with youth 13-17 and parents of children 12 and under. Conversations will be held in multiple communities across New Brunswick, please, register  for the conversation closest to you.
