About the Program: At Telecare And Orange Adult Mental Health Services (TAO) North program, we are here to help you take positive steps toward the things that matter in your life.

We believe recovery starts from within, and that our job is to do whatever it takes to provide the support needed on your recovery journey. We have a multidisciplinary team that includes peer specialists, a psychiatrist, a nurse, a Masters-level team lead, and personal service coordinators with experience working in both mental health and co-occurring substance use, who are all here to promote a program culture where resilience and hope can flourish.

Your recovery plan starts with you. We use transformational care planning, a recovery-oriented treatment planning method to develop an individualized recovery plan to guide your work in the program. We assist you by giving you the appropriate skills where you will better be able to manage your conditions more effectively, monitor your progress toward your goals, and adjust services to fit your changing needs.
