Haldimand-Norfolk REACH is an accredited agency through Children's Mental Health Ontario.

The Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO) accreditation program is a comprehensive quality management system specifically designed for children's mental health service providers. Accreditation is a process that involves setting standards and then evaluating the success of an organization by verifying that the standards have been achieved. Accreditation formally acknowledges a centre's achievement of the standards at a given point in time, but the process is also dynamic, ongoing, and encourages organizations to strive for continuous improvement and learning.

The CMHO accreditation program is independent of government and is organized and administered by children's mental health professionals and board members. It operates directly under the auspices of Children's Mental Health Ontario. (Accreditation Manual, CMHO 2003).

Our next site-review for Accreditation through CMHO is scheduled for May 25-27th,  2011.


Family Services Employee Assistance Program of Haldimand-Norfolk REACH is accredited under The Council on Accreditation (COA). COA is an independent not-for-profit international accreditor of the full continuum of community-based behavioral health care and human service organizations.
