The PACE Program
The PACE Program provides a range of early intervention as well as treatment services to young children and their families, where there may be ongoing concerns about the child's emotional well-being and/or challenging behaviours.
This continuum of services ranges from support within neighbourhood childcare settings, to more intensive services for children and families who have experienced significant distressing events in their life. PACE believes in providing a "wrap-around" service to families, working in partnership with parents, caregivers and other professionals.
The Family Program
To provide an intensive child and family program for preschool aged children (aged 3 to 5) demonstrating significant emotional and/or behavioural challenges.
Child Therapy Services
Child therapy offers children, who have experienced loss and/or trauma, an opportunity to work through, heal and resolve some of these underlying issues in a safe and therapeutic environment.
* To support children when there are clear behavioural signs (e.g. significant withdrawal or acting out behaviours, or behavioural changes).
* To support children if there have been traumatic life experiences (e.g. abuse, neglect, witnessing or experiencing violence, broken attachments and/or abandonment).
* To work in partnership with the child's family, caregivers and other professionals, to support the child.
* To work together to develop goals and a plan for the child based on their strengths and needs.
Services are free of charge.

A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
