Education Community Partnership Programs
Maltby Centre works in collaboration with our partnering school boards to provide programming and support to students at a variety of sites/classrooms. This includes Nexus (3 classrooms, grade 1-12), Granite Ridge Education Centre (Lakers, grade 9-12), & Sydenham High School (Explore, grade 9-10). Students participating in these programs are experiencing social, emotional, mental and behavioural needs that require more support than the regular classroom setting can provide. Referrals to the program are made jointly by the in-school team and the Maltby Centre therapist.
We also offer a Trauma Informed Classroom (Belong, grade 2-6), in which the students’ emotional well-being is the primary focus. Through the PACE model (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy) staff help students to integrate their trauma, shift their world view, and understand their stories. Referrals to the program are made by the school team.
Enhanced Youth Outreach Worker Program (EYOW)
The EYOW Program is a prevention and intervention program that focuses on high-risk youth ages 12 – 21. These youth may experience increased barriers in accessing the opportunities that can help them to develop their capacity to make healthy life choices and achieve their goals. With the support of the EYOW worker, individuals are able to better navigate and connect with their community, while also receiving mental health therapy.
Youth Wellness Hubs of Ontario (YWHO)
Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario is a provincial initiative that aims to bring the right services to youth and their families at the right time and in the right place. At the hubs, youth aged 12 – 25 can access mental health and substance use services, primary health care, peer support, education and employment services, and additional resources to support skill-building and the well-being of youth, families, and other support individuals. Maltby Centre provides a fulltime mental health therapist who works from the KFL&A hub.
Specialty Services
Maltby Centre is committed to providing high quality care to our clients. This includes actively maintaining partnerships with other members of the community to provide access to psychiatry, pediatric and psychology consultation services. When needed, your mental health therapist can explore these options.
