The Abbotsford Child and Youth Committee (ACYC) is a collaborative group consisting of community partners, including service providers and family members. We are dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth, and families in Abbotsford. By working together, we can better meet the needs of the community. Collaboration enables us to make meaningful change and provide effective support for those in need.

Our Services
ACYC provides various services focused on improving the mental health and overall well-being of children and youth. We recognise that each individual’s mental health journey is unique. Therefore, we focus on providing tailored solutions through collaboration and resource-sharing.
Networking and Collaboration
Our committee plays a vital role in encouraging relationships between agencies. This helps establish clear lines of communication and coordination between service providers. By working together, we ensure the needs of children and families are met in a more efficient and comprehensive manner. Additionally, regular information-sharing about programs and services ensures that the community remains informed.
Advocacy and Leadership
ACYC is committed to advocating for better mental health care and resources in Abbotsford. As leaders in the community, we work to raise awareness about the importance of mental health services and the need for accessible care. Our advocacy efforts aim to influence positive policy changes and ensure resources are distributed where they are needed most.
Information Sharing
We also prioritise the exchange of information between members and stakeholders. Keeping everyone informed about new developments in the mental health field allows us to adapt our services. This enables us to provide the most relevant and up-to-date care for the children and families we serve. It also helps us understand and respond to emerging trends in mental health challenges.
