Kinark is committed to helping children and youth with complex needs achieve better life outcomes.

Although Kinark has been providing children’s mental health services for decades, we only became known as Kinark Child and Family Services in 1983. In 2000, Kinark’s services expanded when we began operating Syl Apps Youth Centre and began providing interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Today, we have more than 700 employees and 50 volunteers, including our Board of Directors. Last year, Kinark served close to 9,000 children and youth across our three program streams: Autism, Community-Based Child and Youth Mental Health, and Forensic Mental Health & Youth Justice Services.
