The R.I.T.E.S. Collaborative

Type Of Service

Counselling and Treatment - Mental Health

Program Description

The R.I.T.E.S. Collaborative provides integrated mental health services for Black children and youth from birth to 18, and their families. The program builds upon the experience that CTYS has in delivering culturally specific mental health programming to Black and Black LGBTQ2S youth in Toronto, as well as the George Hull Centre’s full range of multidisciplinary clinical services and interventions, including expertise in family intervention and trauma.

In addition to providing clinical services, the R.I.T.E.S. Collaborative creates an environment for knowledge building, community voices, and linkages with formal partners like CTYS and the University of Toronto Faculty of Social Work, and informal collaboration with community organizations like the Jean Augustine Centre, Delta Family Services, Rexdale Women’s Centre, Jamaican-Canadian Association, and the Somali Women’s and Children’s Network.
