About the Program

The Flamborough Intensive Out of Home Step-Up-Step Down Program for six to twelve weeks in duration for youth 14-18 years of age experiencing significant social, emotional, mental health and/or behavioural difficulties.  The Flamborough Program is available to youth who are experiencing emotional, social and behavioural challenges related to their mental health.  These challenges are usually of an intensity and frequency that less intrusive interventions are would be unlikely to be of sufficient benefit to the youth and family.
