Service Description:
|
Mental health support to current residents, and former YWS youth
Youth are provided with individual psychotherapy, diagnostic and psychosocial assessments, support for ODSP applications, and connecting youth with external resources (i.e. Development Services Ontario, medical services, LGBTQ+ resources etc.). Currently, youth are supported through a variety of ways, such as in-person counselling, access to virtual meetings, and support through text messaging
Core services include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help youth address and reframe unhelpful thought patterns
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop emotional regulation and interpersonal skills
- Art Therapy to provide a safe, expressive outlet for processing trauma
- additionally, psychiatric care is available to address mental health concerns through medication management and holistic support
The program also facilitates referrals for family reunification services to support the restoration of family connections where safe and appropriate, and substance use counseling and treatment to address and reduce the impact of addiction
