Child Psychiatry

Our Divisional goals emphasize exemplary training, research, scholarship, and the discovery and dissemination of new knowledge in the context of compassionate care, scientific rigor and evidence based treatment. The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is comprised of ten sites: the Child, Youth and Family Program (CYFP) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health; the Department of Psychiatry at the Hospital for Sick Children (HSC); the Youth Psychiatry Program at Sunnybrook; the community based programs at Hincks-Dellcrest, Youthdale, George Hull, and the Child Psychiatry Program at North York General Hospital, Humber River Regional Hospital, St. Joe’s Hospital. St. Michael’s Hospital and Toronto East General offer Selective Placements for residents in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry..

HSC and CYFP constitute the hub at which the majority of Divisional Research occurs, but teaching is spread throughout the Division. There has been considerable growth in the programs and services at CYFP and HSC. CYFP offers services to families and children from the preschool years to the early 20’s, HSC from infancy to the 18th birthday. The range of clinical services includes specialized areas as well as more general clinical areas of concern.
