Our flexible approach allows us to deliver tailored experiences through live virtual sessions or in-person experiences.

We are proud to have partnered with community agencies, school boards, and various social service organizations. Together, we have made a meaningful difference, and we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you in creating impactful programs that drive positive change.

“The SickKids CCMH LI team (Erin and Ruth) provided CBT Level 1 training to our team of Child and Youth Counsellors. We anticipated that the organization of the training would be impeded by the restrictions imposed at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the team made the organization and delivery of online training seamless. The training was well-received by all of our counsellors, who have various levels of experience in this field.”

– Gaynor Edwards, Georgian Bay Family Health Team
