Welcome to Keystone!
Keystone Child, Youth & Family Services is a not-for-profit organization that supports the mental health of children, youth, and families in Grey and Bruce counties.
Keystone Child. Youth & Family Services acknowledges that we are gathered on the traditional territory Ojibway/Chippewa and Anishnabek peoples. This land is also home to the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, comprised of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and the Saugeen First Nation. We recognize the enduring presence and deep connection of Indigenous peoples to this land – past, present, and future. We thank the many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis people for sharing this land with us and are grateful for the opportunity to gather and work here.
Mental Health Lead Agency for Grey and Bruce Counties
Keystone is the Lead Agency for child and youth mental health in Grey and Bruce. We help ensure services are accessible, effective, and well-connected across our community.
As part of this role, we lead system planning, identify gaps in care, and advocate for fair and equal access. We also support collaborative programs such as One Stop Talk and the Ontario Intensive Treatment Pathway, so families can get the right help when they need it.
We work with over 25 partners, including schools, hospitals, child welfare agencies, and Indigenous organizations, to provide strong, coordinated support for children, youth, and their families.
