Clinical Services

Description

Turning Leaf’s Clinical Services division offers a multidisciplinary, person-centered approach that helps youth and adults living with mental illness achieve stability, renewed well-being and the important skills needed for successful independent living. Made up of our Director of Integrated Behaviour Analysis, a Senior Clinical Case Manager, and multiple Therapists, our Clinical Services team works seamlessly with our crisis intervention teams and mental healthcare facilities, working 24-hours a day to meet the acute needs of our participants. Our Clinical Services division empowers our participants and our support staff through collaborative practice on an aligned journey toward increased mental and physical well-being.

Referral Form

CLINICAL
SERVICES

When a person is referred to Turning Leaf a Clinician reviews their history so we can make a well-informed support plan. If someone is identified as needing talk therapy, intensive clinical support, or any ongoing need from a clinical perspective, Intake or the Case Manager flags the need and funds are requested. When a participant experiences a traumatic event, a Clinician will check-in and make recommendations to the team for follow up care.

Central to our Clinical Services approach is the integration of person-centered goals with evidence-based practice. The synthesis of these two schools of psychology reflects Turning leaf’s core values of unconditional acceptance and empowering change. Our Clinical team empowers our participants and our support workers through collaborative practice on an aligned journey toward increased mental and physical well-being.
