By the time Canadians reach 40 years of age, 1 in 2 have – or have had – a mental illness.

All of the programs and services we offer are based on recovery, striving to assist individuals in meeting their wellness goals, and transitioning to living well with community supports and services.

Our core components of service

Assessment
The ongoing comprehensive and holistic picture of the patient's current state of wellness.

Individual Therapy
The one-to one collaborative therapeutic relationship between the care provider and patient that focuses on the patient's wellness goals.

Group Therapy
A form of psychosocial treatment for a group of individuals facilitated by trained therapist(s) where the individuals interact with one another to meet individual wellness goals.

Medication Therapy
Medications may be offered to some patients, to optimize therapeutic outcomes for those individuals.

Transition Planning
Transition refers to as the shift from one type of healthcare service to another. The goal of transition is to provide health care that is uninterrupted, coordinated, developmentally appropriate and psychologically sound prior to and throughout transfer into other parts of the Mental Health and Addiction System. Transition planning and preparation involves providing individual with the knowledge and skills they will need to be successful in achieving these ends.
