Mental Health
The Garron Centre for Child & Adolescent Mental Health
The Garron Centre for Child & Adolescent Mental Health is an acute inpatient care facility supporting children and youth up to 19 years of age.
Thanks to the Breakthroughs in Care campaign, the Garron Centre features private rooms, a classroom, a comfortable common area, an exercise room and an open-concept nursing station. With bright colours and natural light, this new unit provides an uplifting feel suited to recovery and therapy for children and teens living with mental illness. Patients like Madi, pictured above, have benefited first-hand from donor generosity.
A first in Canada

It focuses on the development of outcomes research in conjunction with the Mental Health & Addictions program at the IWK. Dr. Leslie Anne Campbell was named the first Chair in December 2015.
