Approximately 1 in 5 children and youth in Ontario have a mental health challenge*. North York General Hospital (NYGH) is deeply committed to providing essential care to this vulnerable population through comprehensive mental health services that aim to improve well-being and health outcomes.
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the mental health crisis for children and youth
Phillips House outpatient services
Phillips House is home to NYGH’s child and adolescent and mental health outpatient services in its 12,000 sq. ft. site. The outpatient program provides assessment and treatment as well as follow-up for patients previously in inpatient care. The redeveloped Georgian-style mansion reimagines how the hospital treats young patients facing a number of mental health conditions and includes Maddie’s Healing Garden, a 1.2-acre green space surrounding Phillips House providing patients with a calming natural setting for therapy, meditation, and physical activity. Both the Garden and the redevelopment of Phillips House were funded through the generous support of donors.
