Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre Details
Most youth who participate in these programs are referred through B.C. Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) teams under the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Involvement by family members and caregivers is an important aspect of these programs. Most youth stay on-site at Healing Spirit House (həy̓χʷət kʷθə šxʷhəliʔ leləm) in Coquitlam while attending the programs because the severity of their challenges can often be better addressed through the intensive programming availablethrough on-site treatment.The Maples programs were developed and are delivered by a team of highly qualified and experienced mental health, medical, vocational and education professionals who work as an integrated team.Child and youth care workers, nurses, psychiatrists, a medical doctor, psychologists, social workers, a vocational counsellor, and B.C. qualified teachers through the Burnaby School District enable youth to receive intensive treatment that takes into consideration all aspects of their lives.Response, Dala, Bifröst and Crossroads are the four main programs offered to address the needs of youth, ages 12-17, who are living with significant emotional, behavioral or mental health challenges that impact their everyday experiences with family, at school and in the community.This new purpose-built facility opened in February 2019 after The Maples relocated from its long-time location in Burnaby.

Amenities include: a gym, weight/fitness room, three classrooms, Indigenous cultural programming sp
