Mental health • Adults, children & adolescents
Outpatient Mental Health Clinic (OMHC)
Outpatient mental health support for adults and children/adolescents, with attention to each person’s needs and stage of life.
Understanding the program
What is this service?
An Outpatient Mental Health Clinic (OMHC) is a setting for mental health care without an overnight residential stay. Care begins with understanding a person’s concerns, strengths, and priorities. ABJ’s adult and children/adolescent pathways make room for different life stages and support needs. The team can explain which clinical services are available and appropriate.
Who it serves
Adults seeking mental health support, and parents or guardians exploring care for a child or adolescent. Eligibility, age ranges, and the services available to each age group must be confirmed with ABJ.
Adults
Adults may be navigating emotional concerns, changes in daily functioning, relationships, or stressful life events. A conversation can help clarify what support may fit personal goals and circumstances.
Children & adolescents
Children and adolescents may need support with emotional well-being, behavior, relationships, or adjustment. Ask ABJ how young people are involved in care, what consent is required, and how parents or guardians participate.
What to expect
Your first conversation is an opportunity to understand options. Actual care arrangements are confirmed with ABJ.
- 1

- 2
Discussion of assessment, available care options, and how goals may be identified together.

Potential benefits
Depending on the person, their needs, and the care provided, goals may include:
- A clearer understanding of concerns and available support
- Opportunities to build coping skills and emotional awareness
- Support for goals related to relationships and everyday well-being
