Thompson families with children or teens facing a mental health crisis have access to a dedicated local resource.

The Hope North Recovery Centre for Youth provides crisis stabilization services for anyone under the age of 18 experiencing a non-emergency mental health crisis.

Iris Chan, Education and Training Coordinator with the Canadian Mental Health Association Thompson, explains what youth and families can expect when they reach out.

Hope North Recovery Centre for Youth is located at 70 Princeton Drive. Anyone experiencing an emergency should seek immediate emergency medical care, while those facing a non-emergency mental health crisis can contact the centre directly for support.
