Our Vision

Healthy children, youth and families in a responsive, culturally sensitive and caring community.

About

We are a community driven children and youth mental health centre serving Sudbury & Manitoulin Districts. We offer many different programs and services to children and youth up to the age of 18, who have mental health concerns.

1 in 5 children and youth in Ontario suffer from mental illness. Our Agency serves approximately 700 active clients at a time.

Compass has been a registered charity since 2008. The funds donated to our charitable fund have allowed us to reach out to the community with events such as Child and Youth Mental Health Week events, Youth Pride BBQ and more. These types of community activities work to promote early prevention of mental health illness reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and create a safe and inclusive environment for all attendees. Also, the funds provided us with the opportunity to purchase therapeutic toys, resources, and material for youth, and families who attend our various programs.

Our charitable fund has also helped us to develop programs such as our youth and family engagement initiatives that seek to unite those with a mission of educating others about mental wellness and the resources available.
