Intensive In-Home Service
The Intensive In-Home Service provides comprehensive therapeutic services to adolescents and families with complex mental health needs in the context of their own homes.
Our skilled team will work with the most challenging situations and with all members of the family to keep families together and prevent family breakdown. Youth therefore are protected from the sense of abandonment and rejection that is often associated with out-of-home treatment programs.
The objectives of the Intensive In-Home Service are:
- To support families and promote positive outcomes for adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders by providing a range of high quality services, including assessment, consultation and treatment planning, family, individual and group therapy.
- To provide specialized group programs for adolescents and parents in response to the changing needs of the community.
If you are a youth, up to 18 years of age, or their parent or guardian, you can submit a referral for yourself or on behalf of someone else for intensive services (day treatment, live-in treatment or intensive in home treatment) to Help Ahead. Help Ahead will receive your request and can call your client or their family directly to discuss suitable options based on their needs and begin the intake process with them. If you have questions about available options for service, you can also phone Help Ahead at 1 866 585‑6486 or email us at helpahead@stridestoronto.ca
