Changing the trajectory of children’s mental health
A full-service, mental health centre, George Hull assists thousands of children – from infancy to 18 years of age – and their families each year. We use evidence-based treatments and programs to reduce suffering, provide hope and enhance the quality of life of infants, children, youth and their families.
A centre of clinical excellence, we offer a full continuum of mental health services from prevention and early intervention programs to treatment services that include a community outpatient clinic, residential and in-home programs and specialized day programs for both school and substance abuse.
We provide access to all in need, with no fees charged for any of our services. We are affiliated with the University of Toronto as a Teaching Centre and are a fully accredited, non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
Who is George Hull?
The George Hull Centre proudly takes its name from a former principal and teacher who was renowned for always focusing on children’s strengths, not their weaknesses, to bring out the best in them. This compassionate approach remains at the core of our work and our culture.
How the George Hull Centre makes a difference.
Our approach is family-centred because a child’s best chance at mental wellness happens when their family is positively involved in the outcome.
The George Hull Centre’s services are provided by multi-disciplinary teams of psychiatrists, social workers, early childhood educators, child and youth workers and psychologists. Each of our professionals has an unwavering commitment to delivering highly responsive, intensive, expert care that will help children and their families achieve a lifetime of mental wellness.
Our one-stop care approach means all families have access to all the services they require, in a safe and supportive place. And since every child is unique, we tailor our treatment to meet each of their individual needs.
Just as important, we rigorously measure the effectiveness of our programs, evaluating each of them with an eye to continual quality improvement.
The George Hull Centre for Children and Families is proud to be accredited through the Canadian Centre for Accreditation (CCA) in recognition of achieving established CCA standards for excellence and quality in governance, management, and child and youth mental health services.
