The Alberta Mentoring Partnership

Program Description

The goals of CASA’s programs and services are:
To offer accessible, effective mental health services to children and families from the Edmonton Region and Central and Northern Alberta
To promote knowledge and skill in the field of children’s mental health.
Offer a wide range of assessment and treatment programs, as well as professional training and consultation. CASA's programs range in intensity from early identification, assessment and primary intervention, to intensive tertiary level treatment. All of our programs are evidence-based, community-based, and trauma-informed.
The programs operate primarily from four locations in Edmonton: CASA Downtown, CASA Centre, CASA Fort Road, and CASA House. The clinical teams include childcare counsellors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers and occupational therapists. Assessments and subsequent interventions are guided by a bio-psycho-social (biological, psychological, social) framework that considers the family and community as integral to the healthy functioning of the child. Hence our clinicians work with the family and other support systems to maximize effectiveness. Several programs are operated in partnership with other agencies and sectors of services for children.
