The SeaStar Child and Youth Advocacy Centre (CYAC) Program at the IWK Health Centre is a welcoming, child- and youth-friendly setting, where children and youth who may have experienced abuse can navigate the different services they need in one coordinated, streamlined process. Services may include forensic interview, medical exam, individualized support from a Child and Youth Advocate, Professiona

l Therapy Dogs, and referrals. The SeaStar CYAC Program is a first step toward creating the full vision for the SeaStar Child and Youth Advocacy Centre, where all of these services, and more, will be available in one child- and youth-friendly setting. The CYAC approach makes the experience better for clients, and provides support every step of the way. By working together, the professionals involved have access to more complete information and can work more efficiently, resulting in stronger cases and better outcomes.

Please note that the SeaStar CYAC Program does not receive direct referrals. If you are concerned that a child is being abused or neglected, contact the child welfare agency in the area where the child lives. To find the child welfare agency in your area, please contact the agency or district office of the Department of Community Services (http://gov.ns.ca/coms/department/contact/index.html) nearest you for more information. After regular business hours call 1-866-922-2434 if you believe a child is in immediate danger.
