New Start Digital Youth IOP

New Start Digital Youth Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), the first and only of its kind in Canada, is an online mental health treatment program for adolescents.  New Start Digital Youth IOP was developed by a Toronto-based Child and Youth psychologist. The program uses researched-informed behavioural approaches -Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to support recovery from mental health symptoms.

The eight-week online program, followed by up to six months of aftercare, combines individual and group support. The intensive program also includes parent/caregiver workshops which are based on Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). With support from a few generous donors, New Start Foundation was able to launch the first cohort October 2020.
