Children’s Treatment Network (CTN) is excited to introduce our new Family Resource, Education and Support Hub (FRESH) Facebook Group. This group is a dedicated platform designed to foster a responsive and welcoming community for families of kids and youth accessing services and support through CTN. We're thrilled to offer a vibrant online space where parents, caregivers and guardians of all CTN kids and youth can come together, connect and benefit from invaluable support. You can read more about the group and how to join on the CTN website.  

CTN’s Georgina site at R.L. Graham Public School (70 Biscayne Blvd, Georgina, ON L4P 3M8) will undergo work on the building and property over the summer. This work includes repaving the entire back of the school, which will impact the usual entrance for CTN service delivery throughout July and August. 

Starting July 1st, families are asked to enter the building through the main entrance. Your service provider will greet you at the front doors for your appointment and lead you to CTN’s space. 

There will be significant noise levels due to the work being completed. Please keep this in mind when you are attending appointments if your child or youth is sensitive to loud noises. 

We anticipate that we will have access to our usual entrance at the start of the new school year in September. Updates will be posted on the CTN website. Please contact your CTN service provider if you have any questions about your upcoming appointment(s). 

In June, we released our 2023-24 Annual Report. The report highlights advancements made throughout the network as we continue to make progress on our strategic directions to support kids, youth and their families. It also features and shares stories from clients and families about their CTN journey.

We hope you check it out and learn more about how CTN supports a community of over 33,000 kids and youth with disabilities and developmental needs, and their families!
