Providing Care for Children, Youth, Young Adults and Their Parents/Guardians
At Maltby Centre, we have been providing autism and children’s and youth mental health services to Ontarians for more than 25 years. We’re an accredited, full-service agency with an extensive team of mental health professionals at our five campuses in Kingston, Napanee, Northbrook, Sharbot Lake and Sydenham, ON.
We are the lead agency for both services in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington. We work with clients in one of many Maltby campuses, in their homes, in schools, or in other community locations.
We work closely with numerous partner agencies to ensure successful service navigation. Maltby Centre was originally established as Pathways for Children & Youth in 1996.
In 2018, the Agency was renamed Maltby Centre in honour of the founding director, JoAnne Maltby, who was an incredible advocate for children and youth. Today, Maltby Centre still operates under JoAnne’s vision and strives to create possibilities for change in young people’s lives.
