About our Service

Compass is a 12 bed inpatient treatment service for children up to 13 years of age with severe behavior disorders. Treatment is provided within a 24 hour/5 day per week residential setting, with an average length of stay of six months. Compass provides a structured weekly program that includes one-to-one treatment, as well as recreational and occupational therapies. Programming also includes evidence based groups such as parenting groups for parents/caregivers as well as an on-site therapeutic classroom. Our support team provides community-based support for patients and families during weekends, and as patients transition back to their home community.
