Building on the success of a pilot project completed in 2023, we expanded our initiative to create welcoming, unique, and comfortable spaces for children and youth. We are excited to unveil the latest video showcasing the newly redecorated client room at our F.W. Schumacher site in Timmins! 

This vibrant space was co-created by youth and adult allies in 2024, guided by feedback to create more welcoming environments for delivering mental health services.

The project brought together youth creativity and community support to create a space where children and youth feel more comfortable and at home while accessing live-in treatment services.

A Special Thanks

This project was made possible through Building Safer Communities Funding in partnership with the City of Timmins.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the youth who contributed to the success of this project, as well as the staff members who provided support and guidance throughout the process. Their dedication and commitment to making a meaningful change were essential to the project's success!

This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to improving services for children and youth across all our sites, as outlined in our 2022-2027 Strategic Plan.

Stay tuned for updates on the room makeovers in Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, and Smooth Rock Falls. Updates on the transformations in Englehart, Hearst, and New Liskeard were previously shared.

Together, let’s continue to create real change and support the mental health and well-being of children and youth in our communities!
