Students and Young Adults
Young people typically experience the first signs and symptoms of a mood disorder and psychosis at ages 14 to 15, and studies show that early identification and intervention makes recovery much more likely.
That’s why we offer public education in schools through a special partnership with the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
More information about early intervention for psychosis and mood disorders can be found on the following websites:

We also have some helpful online tools, thanks to our friends at www.mindyourmind.ca. These tools can help you find help, learn more about counselling or therapy, prepare a crisis plan and even bust your stress.
Getting Started: Finding a counsellor or therapist, what to expect, what to do if you’re in crisis…and lots of other great topics.
