The George Hull Centre for Children and Families

01/29/2026

At the George Hull Centre, we provide mental health care that meets children, youth, and families where they are.

From walk-in counselling to long-term therapy, our services focus on early intervention, trauma-informed support, and strengthening relationships at home.
Whether a family is navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, school challenges, or trauma, we work together to build safety, resilience, and hope.

If your family needs support, we’re here. 💚

Happy Family Literacy Day!

Early relationships and experiences shape a child’s entire developmental path.
Our EarlyON Child and Family Centres offer free, welcoming programs that help caregivers strengthen attachment, build early learning skills, and connect with other families in the community.
Play, routine, and connection are powerful tools for early development — and our EarlyON team is here to support every step of the way.

As conversation around “Blue Monday” picks up, it’s a good reminder that many families and young people struggle with low mood during the winter.
While the idea of one “saddest day of the year” isn’t evidence-based, the feelings people experience are real.
If you or a young person in your life needs support, reaching out early makes a difference.
Small steps — structure, connection, movement, routine — can help lighten the load.

💙 Blue Monday is often described as the “most depressing day of the year” — but it’s also an important reminder of how much adults matter in supporting children’s mental health.

📺 speaks with George Hull Centre's Leticia Garcia and Upasana Krishnadev about how adults can play a pivotal role in helping children and youth navigate emotional challenges — especially during the winter months, when stress, isolation and low mood can intensify.

🗣️ Their message is clear:
✔️ Check in early and often
✔️ Listen without judgment
✔️ Notice changes in behaviour or mood
✔️ Help connect kids to the right supports when needed

🧠 Mental health support doesn’t always start with a diagnosis — it often starts with a conversation.

This , let’s remember that showing up, listening and caring can make a lasting difference for children and youth.

Kids thrive when they feel seen, heard, and supported.
A simple check-in — “How are you feeling today?” — can open the door to meaningful conversations about mental health. 💚

Trauma affects how children grow, learn, and feel — but healing is possible.
Our trauma-informed programs help children build safety, trust, and resilience, and support caregivers with tools to understand their child’s needs.
You’re not alone. 💚
