Child & Perinatal Psychiatry

A child’s emotional and mental health is closely linked to their growth, learning, and relationships. Early support for emotional, behavioural, and developmental concerns along with mental health care during pregnancy and after birth helps strengthen emotional resilience, supports healthy bonding, and promotes overall family wellbeing.

At Altrus HealthCare, our Child & Perinatal Psychiatry Clinic provides sensitive, age-appropriate mental health support for children, adolescents, and parents. We focus on understanding emotional and behavioural concerns early through careful listening and structured assessments.

Care is planned to suit each child and family, and may include counselling, behavioural guidance, and family support. Through routine check-ins and the right guidance, we help families navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and consistent care.
