SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health (CCMH), formerly The Hincks-Dellcrest Treatment Centre builds on the collective history of two extraordinary children’s mental health centres – the C.M. Hincks Treatment Centre, whose origins date back to the early 1950’s and the Dellcrest Children’s Centre, which opened in 1960. In 1998, the two centres amalgamated to form The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre (HDC), a leading edge, non-profit children’s mental health centre offering a comprehensive range of innovative mental health services for infants, children, youth and their families.
In February 2017, HDC announced the beginning of another new chapter in its 65-year history -- its integration with The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). This integration will enable a more efficient, effective and coordinated approach to mental health services for children and youth, one that bridges care in hospital and in the community.
