ACCESS Open Minds

AOM (ACCESS Open Minds) is a walk-in, single session based clinic embedded within a youth and young adult friendly environment. Individuals and their supports are welcomed and seen by a clinic therapist on a first come, first serve basis.

As a walk-in, point-of-entry, single session service, AOM is not a lead service provider but – depending on individual circumstances - AOM may see a client for brief follow up following the initial single session.

During the single session, the client will be screened for the presence of substance use and/or mental health issues that may require more intensive interventions. Should the client’s presenting needs be able to be addressed at AOM, the client will receive a single solution-focused session. Clinically indicated psychiatry referrals are offered. Clients who require more intensive interventions beyond what is offered by AOM can have their care transitioned to a service designed to meet that client’s care needs.

For social, recreation, & wellness needs, clients are often referred to the Young Adult Services - Social Recreation, & Wellness program (formerly known as Challenge by Choice).
