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 rooms in Cochrane, Iroquois Falls and Smooth Rock Falls!
These vibrant spaces were co-created by youth and adult allies in 2024, guided by feedback to create more welcoming environments for delivering our mental health services.
The project brought together youth creativity and community support to create a space where children and youth feel more comfortable while accessing services.
A Special Thanks
This project was made possible through generous sponsorship funding from Canada Nickel, along with local support from Allen's Home Hardware Building Centre in Cochrane and Iroquois Falls Home Hardware Building Centre, who provided additional supplies.
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!
See the Transformation
To view the progress and final looks of each room, we invite you to watch the video montage showcasing the incredible transformation. The final results are truly remarkable!
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 future room makeovers!
Updates on the transformations in Englehart, Hearst, and New Liskeard, as well as the transformation at F.W. Schumacher, 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!
