Complex Needs

Specially Designed Models of Care

Complex Needs provide highly specialized supports to adults with developmental disabilities and concurrent mental health disorders. We provide caring harm reduction models for those struggling with substance use or other high-risk lifestyle choices. Referrals are received directly from  Persons with Developmental  Disabilities (PDD).

We work closely with the Support Approach Team and community partners (Arnika Centre, Developmental Disabilities Mental Health) to provide comprehensive behaviour approach plans.
