Measurement-Based Care
Homewood Touchpoint is a self-reported assessment tool that was created in partnership with leading researchers at the Homewood Research Institute. This measurement-based care monitors client progress and outcomes to help guide clinical decision-making. Clients self-monitor their progress at regular intervals via iPad, and clinicians have easier access to all the information collected in an integrated way to track the client's progress over time. The data can then be used to improve the individual’s treatment plans and engage the client directly in their therapeutic recovery.
Interventional Psychiatry Service
When deemed medically appropriate, clients have access to the Homewood Interventional Psychiatry Service, which provides innovative treatments such as ketamine infusion therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). These therapies are administered under the guidance of a psychiatrist and are designed to help clients who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. Ketamine and rTMS offer non-invasive and fast-acting options, while ECT remains highly effective for severe cases. Clients also receive individualized support, combining therapeutic and wellness programs to enhance long-term recovery.
Health Care Providers’ Program
Homewood Health Centre’s health care provider program is a specialized stream of programming that is designed for frontline workers in the healthcare sector experiencing challenges related to mental health and/or addiction. It can complement and enhance the experience of clients in Homewood’s other programs, and is grounded in research on the impact of COVID-10 on the mental health of front-line healthcare workers.
Women’s Trauma & Concurrent Program
Designed to cater to the diverse needs of all women—including cisgender, transgender, and non-binary individuals preferring a woman-focused environment—Homewood Health Centres’ women’s program is a pioneering step towards specialized care. Participants receive their core treatment programming in a gender-specific setting and reside together in a unit. This fosters psychological safety and empowers women through their recovery journey.

Testimonial
This place was amazing for me. I was in IMAP (Integrated mood and anxiety program) for most of the summer. The skills I learned and experiences I had here were invaluable. Not to sound cliché but it honestly saved my life. We had a variety of traditional group and non-traditional therapy. I loved my psychiatrist and some of the nurses. In addition to traditional nursing, they act as someone to confide in. They encourage you to talk to them if you're upset. I spent hours talking to them one on one. One actually inspired me to pursue nursing, which is what I'm working on now.
