Each year, PCC provides approximately 6650 treatment services, free of charge, to children and youth who are struggling with depression, anxiety, bullying, physical or sexual abuse, self-harm and more. Our services include coordinated centralized intake, 24/7 crisis support, comprehensive clinical assessments, community-based outreach and court preparation. Individual and group counselling is offered at our offices, in the home, in the school and through our residential and day treatment programs. Please support us in our vision of a caring community working together for children and youth.

The majority of the services privileged by the Centre are innovative and alternative methods, otherwise known as the Creative Arts Therapies: art therapy, zen art therapy, drama therapy and music therapy. We have also offered dance/movement therapy in the past. Some of our services facilitate insight and self-awareness, which are necessary for the recognition, prevention and resolution of psychological and/or emotional difficulties. Other services provide support, respite, mutual aid and long-term accompaniment. The fundamental aim of our services is to help members improve their self-esteem, increase their self-sufficiency, and promote their empowerment. We encourage our members to find solutions to their problems, learn to take responsibility for their lives and reintegrate into the community, in order to return to former activities such as contributing to family life, volunteering, studies, leisure pursuits, and even work.
