Adult, Children & Youth Therapy

Adult Therapy offers treatment to adults with a mental health problem. Each client is paired up with a social worker and with a prescriber if needed. A person-centered treatment plan is developed after admission.  The plan includes specific goals and objectives that match the treatment needs. Forms of evidence-based treatment are offered: Independent therapy, medication therapy, and group therapy.

Children & Youth Therapy is available to clients 25 years old and under and offers similar services to Adult Therapy. 


 
Medication Therapy

Clients are prescribed medication by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, and have registered nurse support. Long-acting injectables and clozaril are offered to clients with a severe mental illness. A long-acting injectable is an injection of medication for those who need help managing their medication.
