CHEO didn't just save my life; they made it worth living again. I found people who truly understood what I was going through, and that changed everything. Now I know I'm never alone, and I want other kids to know that too.

Program overview

New Program for 2026: Integrated Treatment Centre (ITC)

The ITC opening in 2028 will bring CHEO’s outpatient mental health services together under one roof creating spaces that actively support healing, improving how programs are delivered, and making it easier for young people to access care. It also brings peer support into the heart of the clinical setting, helping children and youth feel more connected and understood.
