We’re proud to share the Roberts/Smart Centre’s 2024–2025 Annual Report:
“Leading the Way: A New Chapter Begins”.
This year marked a period of renewal and progress. We achieved re-accreditation through 2029, secured full licensing for our Secure Reintegration program, launched the ARC Clinical Model, redesigned intake, and introduced BookJane to strengthen stability in care. Together, these milestones reflect our commitment to quality, access, and innovation in intensive youth mental health services.
The report was launched at our Annual General Meeting on September 4, 2025 at the MD Learning Centre. MC Sam LaPrade, Executive Director Deborah Headley, and Board President Dean Tester shared achievements and the road ahead, including a Strategic Assessment for the 2026–2030 plan and work with the Ministry of Health on a new Secure Treatment Facility. We were honoured to welcome keynote speaker Tatum Wilson, CEO of Children’s Mental Health Ontario, who spoke to the future of youth mental health and strong collaboration across Ontario.
We also recognized the heart of RSC—our staff—through Long Service Awards, including a special tribute to Michel “Mike” Cousineau for 40 years of dedicated service:
-
5 YEARS: Molly Chandler, Samuel Coles, Isabelle Paroyan
-
10 YEARS: Krystal Duffy, Natalie Elliott, Adrianne Usher-Jones
