About Pine River Institute

Pine River Institute is a residential treatment centre and outdoor leadership experience for youth 13 to 19 struggling with mental health issues, and specifically substance abuse. Their family lives are in uproar. Their personal and academic lives are in jeopardy. These are kids who have exhausted other interventions, and need a new, creative approach.

That new approach is available in a peaceful area outside of Toronto, where family-centered wilderness, therapeutic, and academic programs come together in a unique, holistic treatment and educational model. At Pine River, we address the self-destructive behaviour. We teach math skills and life skills side-by-side. We take all the time it takes to rebuild a life. And we remain supportive of our families long after the program ends.

A place where kids and families can start to feel whole again.

Welcome to Kate Genest - new intern!

We are pleased to announce that Kate Genest has been awarded an SLS Public Interest Fellowship to intern at Pine River for 12 weeks this summer.

Every year, the SLS sponsors 2 to 3 first-year or second- year JD students from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law to pursue work in a public interest setting. The fellowships are meant to support students working for public interest community-based organizations in Canada. Kate will be working primarily with senior management out of the Toronto office.

Kate is just completing first year law school at the University of Toronto. This Fellowship is a great honour for Kate, and a wonderful asset to Pine River Institute.
