As one of Canada’s foremost mental health care and academic health science centres, The Royal has a clear purpose: to get more people living with mental illness into recovery faster. Every day, the work that we do transforms the lives of people with mental illness through specialized mental healthcare, advocacy, research and education.

Our clinic provides mental health care for young people aged 16–24 across Eastern Ontario who are living with moderate to severe mental health concerns.
