Program overview
Launching in 2025: Transforming Lives: A Cutting-Edge Clinic for Adolescent Well-Being
This new clinic will offer a more modern, safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where teens can get the specialized medical care and therapeutic support they need. With 1,200 additional square feet as well as improved settings tailored to this patient population, the team will be able to increase the number of patients and families treated each year.
Centre of Excellence for Adolescents with Severe Obesity (CEASO)
Severe obesity in teenagers is increasingly prevalent. This condition can lead to a range of serious health complications, diminishing quality and length of life. A growing quantity of evidence shows the importance of intervention when obesity is severe, and CEASO meets an urgent need for multidisciplinary support in this area.
Family-based therapy (FBT)
In the FBT program, trained care providers deliver evidence-based treatment to adolescents, primarily for anorexia and bulimia. Importantly, families are engaged in the treatment process. Where possible, care providers seek to intervene before patients’ conditions have become severe enough to warrant inpatient care, reducing hospitalizations.
How Family of Support Funding Has Helped
Funds provided by Family of Support have helped to:
CEASO:
- Improve patients’ quality of life, both on a mental and physical level
- Train additional physicians and mental health trainees in advanced prevention and early intervention approaches
- Increase patients’ learning of coping strategies and skills to deal with stress.
FBT:
- Decrease the number of hospitalizations and duration of hospital stays
- Increase the number of patient assessments.
