New site opens up in Welland
Children and youth in Niagara now have another place to go for mental health services.
Today, Pathstone Mental Health opened a new location on River Road in Welland.
The River House site will offer mental health therapy, clinics and resources to kids and families across the region.
The organization says access to such services is a barrier, and a new location will help meet growing demand.
"Often times, families start a Pathstone program with the best of intentions but a long commute to and from our Branscombe site in St. Catharines or lack of transportation altogether is a barrier to care that leads to cancelled sessions and incomplete therapy programs. We know that kids have an 87% success rate at Pathstone, when they complete their program, which is another reason why River House is such an important site." Shaun Baylis, CEO - Pathstone Mental Health
The Pathstone Foundation raised $2.2 million to facilitate the purchase of the property.
