“Navigating the patchwork of available mental health resources is not only a confusing and stressful experience, but also a barrier to getting the help and support needed for recovery.”  We’ve heard this from so many families that come to Pine River for help.  Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre’s Psychiatrist-in-chief Dr. Anthony Levitt was inspired to address this issue and initiated The Family Navigation Project, a new resource to “help guide and support youth and families with mental health needs in finding the right care and resources for them when they need it most.”  This is such an important service - kudos to the Sunnybrook team for taking this on!  Project Manager Nadine Zahlan recently visited Pine River for the project.
