Transitional Youth Program (TYP)

Type Of Service

Case Management - Mental Health

Program Description

Supports youths in their mental health recovery, assists them in regaining and maintaining age-appropriate milestones, and minimizes the disruption that mental illness can have on their lives. It is a strengths-based support program offering both therapeutic and case management interventions.

The program specializes in community outreach to engage youth who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or a mood disorder. Case management services are offered at CMHA Toronto offices, in the community and virtually, and regular peer support and social opportunities are provided. We coordinate with other health care and community service providers to meet the needs of youth with complex needs, and also provide education to families to assist them with understanding and coping with their loved ones’ mental health challenges.

The Transitional Youth Program works closely with the Early Psychosis Intervention (MOD) Program at CMHA Toronto.
