Erratum: Changes in the Roles and Responsibilities Related to the Developmental Services (DS) Case Resolution Mechanism

We are writing to share some exciting changes that will be taking place within the Ottawa service delivery area.

Effective April 1, 2024, the roles and responsibilities related to the Developmental Services (DS) Case Resolution mechanism will be realigned from Youth Services Bureau (YSB) to Service Coordination Support (SCS).

This move is reflective of the alignment of the function of the service resolution and access mechanism with the mission and mandate of SCS and will promote maximized efficiency and effectiveness for children, youth and their families accessing these services.

YSB will retain the Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) service resolution table and the associated functions as this best aligns with their mission and mandate.

We wish to thank Youth Service Bureau and Coordinated Access for their leadership and dedication in the DS case resolution sector for many years. We also thank you, as key community partners, in advance for your support of this realignment of responsibilities as we continue to evolve in the Complex Special Needs space.
