The Ontario Intensive Treatment Pathway (OITP) is an unprecedented model that will transform the intensive treatment system in Ontario and improve access for children and youth up to the age of 17 with the most significant mental health needs.
The OITP will begin with a focus on live-in treatment that is provincially guided and delivered regionally.

Land acknowledgement
The OITP operates across Ontario on traditional, unceded and unsurrendered territories of Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit). Our presence in this territory is part of a painful legacy of child welfare that caused generational harm in Indigenous communities. We seek to honour our hosts by building culturally competent and consistent approaches into the intensive mental health treatment system, and work towards decolonization, learning and healing.
