Collaborative Care
What is the CYAN Clinic?
The Complex Youth ADHD Nanaimo (CYAN) clinic is a low-barrier multidisciplinary clinic for children and youth with suspected or diagnosed ADHD who require additional supports due to:
-
Co-morbid diagnoses
-
Family stressors
-
School barriers
-
Treatment failure
Referrals must come from a physician or nurse practitioner. However, you can speak to your child's school to get help in initiating this process if you don't have a doctor.
Information will be gathered by our Family Support Liaison in advance of a consultation with Dr. Francis. With your permission, we will also contact your child's school case manager to discuss their concerns and support services already in place. This will enable the team to consider your child's unique situation and provide a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment plan. Depending on you and your child's needs, additional assessments may be arranged. Treatment plans may include provision of resources, connection to allied health services, and/or medication. Your child's plan will be communicated back to his/her/their school team so that supports are wrapped around your child and family.
Follow-up will be arranged by the team as needed.
