Cree Nation of Mistissini, Québec

ACCESS Open Minds in the Cree Nation of Mistissini (Québec) is called Aaschihkuwaataauch ᐃᔮᔅᒌᐦᑯᐧᐋᑖᐅᒡ, which in Cree means “providing help urgently when people are in need.” The ACCESS Clinicians provide services out of the newly renovated Family Resource Centre, which is equipped with various types of clinical and meeting rooms, even a kitchen, and is co-located with other youth- and family-related services.

  • Our Approach

    ACCESS Open Minds in the Cree Nation of Mistissini  is centrally located in the community and is next door to the Mistissini Youth Centre. A variety of clinicians, including art therapists, a family therapist, and psychologist, support rapid access to care in Mistissini through staffing the ACCESS OM space 5 days a week, with availabilities into the evening, if requested. The ongoing development of collaborations with other services in the community – such as youth protection, social services, school counselling services, and the local medical clinic – will further support youth to quickly access mental health support when needed.
