Peel Wraparound Process is a community-based outreach service that helps families experiencing significant, complex mental health difficulties by developing a formal and informal support system to wrap around them.
This process is based on the belief that every person, family, and community has strengths that can be used to make a real difference in the lives of children and families.
After assessing the family's needs and strengths, a plan is developed to meet these needs at home, in the school, and in the community. Together with a team comprising family, health and social service professionals, and members of the community who volunteer to support the family, the service works with the family to strengthen their resources, skills, and links to their natural support systems within the community, and to develop the parents' skills to manage their children at various stages in their development.
Provides unconditional care and commitment; if things do not work out as planned, the wraparound process does not stop; instead, a new plan is developed to meet the needs of the child and family. |

This process takes place in the safety and security of a private unit separate from the Emergency Department called Chantel's Place.

Children in Motion & Youth in Motion are programs that introduce children ages 3 to 13 & 14 to 21 to sports and recreational activities. The programs are tailored to the needs of every child in the class, focusing on the fundamentals of physical activity, including balance,
co-ordination, agility and flexibility. Classes are both integrated and fun. Every child has a chance to develop their fine and gross motor skills through different activities, such as adapted hockey, basketball and obstacle courses.
Children in Motion will focus on children’s activities, themes, music and stories. Activities will be planned to fit the participant’s appropriate age group and will be modified to suit the abilities & interests of those individuals attending.
Some weeks may involve a “carry over” of themes to allow for skill development the first week, a refresher of skills and possible game the following week.
