No bandage. No stitches. No clear answers. It’s the pain you can’t see. Children and youth with mental health struggles are navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives. For too many families in Alberta, this is the reality they face every day. But it doesn’t have to be. For them, there’s CASA Mental Health.

CASA Mental Health is an accredited, non-profit organization. CASA has been serving the Edmonton region since 1989, and today CASA is the second-largest provider of child and youth mental health care, in Alberta, for kids aged three to 18.

CASA provides free, trauma-informed mental health services to the missing middle — mental health treatment for children and youth in between the services available in primary and community care, and acute treatment in hospital.

CASA’s services wrap care around the entire family, in collaboration with community partners, because family and community have a vital role in the successful treatment of each child and youth. CASA assesses and treats more than 11,000 children, youth and family members each year, with a range of programs from community outreach settings to intensive, live-in treatment. All of CASA’s programs are always free of charge to families.
