REACH provides innovative, community-based mental health services that respond to the dynamic needs of clients, families and the community. We offer short-term, goal-focused case management services to adults living with mental health issues or challenges that impact their lives.
Clients work with their community support counsellors to improve their quality of life.
Our approach is recovery-focused, strengths-based, trauma-informed and person-centered. While most of the counselling support is offered on an individual basis, REACH services also provide weekly groups and outings. They also host special events which have been instrumental in creating a welcoming community for those who attend.

COMPASS is an Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT) that provides treatment, rehabilitation and support services to individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar effective disorder, psychotic disorder and schizoaffective disorder and who have had multiple psychiatric hospitalizations.
The program is designed for those individuals who require intensive services provided in their own community and who have not been able to utilize other mental health services in the hospital or community. Our team offers psychiatric, nursing, social work, addictions, peer support and mental health worker expertise.
COMPASS is a long-term program that assists clients in accomplishing a wide range of treatment, support and rehabilitation goals. Typical clients require frequent contact and often need assistance with activities of daily living, social relationships, employment, housing, medical, financial, and legal or addiction issues. ACTT can also assess, prescribe, dispense, administer, monitor and evaluate medications. We provide 24-hour crisis support to our clients depending on their needs.
Referrals to COMPASS ACTT services must be made through The Access Point by completing the online application form or calling 1-888-640-1934.
