Maltby Centre

What Maltby Centre does

Maltby Centre is a registered charitable nonprofit organization headquartered in Kingston, Ontario, that has provided mental health and autism services to children, youth, and families since 1996 (originally as Pathways for Children & Youth, renamed in 2018). The organization is the designated lead agency for child and youth mental health and autism services in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (KFL&A) region, operating five physical locations across Kingston, Napanee, Sydenham, Sharbot Lake, and Northbrook, alongside virtual service delivery through partnerships including the provincial One Stop Talk network.

The service platform spans two integrated lines. Mental Health Services include walk-in clinics at multiple sites, registered psychotherapy, intensive in-home services, crisis support, and specialized programs (SNAP for emotional regulation, Caribou for youth depression, GoZen Anxiety Groups, 2SLGBTQIA+ support, Indigenous mental health). Autism Services deliver Ontario Autism Program-funded foundational family services, core clinical ABA therapy (billed at $150/hour), Project ImPACT early childhood intervention, the ABC Classroom therapeutic school program, Connections for Students transitions, and Urgent Response Services. Adjacent offerings include Respite Services ($700-$750/week), an on-demand Video Vault of workshops, and a Youth Portal.

The business model blends government funding (Ontario Autism Program core and fee-for-service clinical billings), foundation grants (United Way KFL&A, Ontario Trillium Foundation), and fee-for-service revenue from clinical ABA and respite programs. Customers include individual families, OAP-registered autistic youth, Limestone District School Board and Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic District School Board for embedded school programs, and 35+ community agency partners via the Roadmap to Wellness Family Advisory Committee. Maltby holds Accreditation Canada Exemplary Standing and received the 2025 Kingston Business Award in the nonprofit category.

Direct peers

• New Path Youth and Family Services: Simcoe County-based children's mental health centre providing counseling, autism services and youth support. Similar nonprofit, multi-site, government-funded operating model serving children, youth and families in Ontario.
• Kinark Child and Family Services: Ontario children's mental health agency offering counseling, autism services and intensive treatment across multiple regions. Comparable lead-agency-style model for children's mental health and similar government funding dependency.
• ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development: Large Ontario children's treatment centre delivering autism services, ABA, occupational therapy and family support across multiple sites. Closely comparable service portfolio and reliance on Ontario government funding streams for pediatric therapy.
• Surrey Place Centre: Toronto-based charitable centre providing autism, developmental and mental health services for children and youth across Ontario. Closely comparable integrated service model and funding mix (government + fee-for-service + philanthropy) serving a similar pediatric population.
• Kids Inclusive (Ongwanada): Kingston-based child development and rehabilitation centre serving children with physical, developmental and autism needs in the same KFL&A region. Maltby Centre's named partner on the Urgent Response Service; directly comparable clinical mandate and geography.
• Grandview Kids: Ontario children's treatment centre in Durham Region providing autism services, ABA therapy, school-based programs and family support. Operates a similar mix of government-funded autism services, school partnerships and family capacity-building programs.

Others

• Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO): Provincial association representing child and youth mental health centres across Ontario, of which Maltby's CEO is a board member. Not a direct competitor but the coordinating body for Maltby's peer agencies and a key policy/funding interlocutor.

Broad incumbents

• Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital: Toronto pediatric rehabilitation hospital with significant autism and mental health services for children/youth. A broader incumbent with overlapping capabilities (ABA, mental health, school transition support) but operating at hospital scale and across a wider portfolio.
• Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO): Major pediatric hospital serving eastern Ontario including the Ottawa region with mental health and developmental services. Overlaps with Maltby's mental health and autism service lines but as a hospital-based system with broader acute-care mandate.

Regional players

• Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Family and Children's Services (FLA): Regional children's aid society serving the same KFL&A geography, with overlapping family and child welfare services. Partners with Maltby on shared buildings but operates a distinct child protection mandate rather than direct clinical mental health/autism delivery.
