The Mary J. Wright Child and Youth Development Clinic (MJW-CYDC) at Western University has been instrumental in providing affordable psychological services to families in London, Ontario, since 2017. The clinic has supported over 1,700 families, addressing the high costs of typical psychological assessments, which can exceed $230 per hour. By offering reduced rates and financial subsidies, MJW-CYDC ensures that children and youth have timely access to necessary psychological care. The clinic also collaborates with local agencies, including London Health Science Centre and Vanier Children’s Mental Wellness, to fill service gaps. Graduate students from Western's psychology program gain practical experience while delivering these essential services. Programs like Kids Interdisciplinary Developmental Insights (KIDI) and the Early Intervention Program help identify and support children facing developmental challenges. As the average wait time for assessments has increased, the clinic's efforts highlight the critical need for accessible mental health services for youth. The clinic's work emphasizes the importance of building strong relationships and early intervention to positively impact children's mental health trajectories.
