Vanier’s Kaitlyn Yungblut joined RCC-HDGH's Kyle Williamson and St. Clair Child and Youth Service's Lesley Hereygers at this year's CMHO Conference in Toronto to present the ACT Program development and implementation for children and youth.

The presentation was a great success in highlighting the impact this model of care has made in our communities, sparking interest in how participants can bring this model back to their own agencies.
