Venture Academy helps teens who would benefit from academic support, health, wellness and clinically focused treatment services. Our treatment programs for struggling teens employ staff that have a comprehensive understanding of the diverse challenges faced by today’s teens and students. Team members have a proven record of proficiency in working with adolescents who may be struggling for many reasons or would benefit from extra support specific to their academic, emotional and mental wellness needs.
Venture Academy clinical professionals and support staff are carefully screened and selected for their integrity, compassion, and ability to help school-aged adolescents make real changes – changes that parents can see, and youth recognize themselves.
We help teens overcome their challenges while teaching them how to develop and maintain healthy and productive lifestyles and relationships with family and peers.
From an often self-limiting or self-destructive lifestyle, back to health, wellness and optimism, our staff will go the distance with your family and help get your child (and family) back on track.
Venture Academy has worked and does work closely with contracted experts in licensing, accreditation, and clinical practice – including consultants with master’s and PhD-level credentials – who offer critical insights to ensure our programs meet the highest standards. Our evolving program has been shaped from the ground up by these professionals, many of whom also advise regulatory bodies or serve within government agencies themselves or even advise government on their own developing policies and legislation. Their contributions are essential to maintaining and elevating the quality of care we provide.
This work often does not get the credit it deserves as much of it occurs behind the scenes unknown to even the frontline staff themselves.
- Changes in policy? Where did that come from? – Likely after a deep dive with a licensing consultant around provincial changes in regulations.
- How did we managed to achieve a three year accreditation representing the highest quality assurance standards yet again? From months or years of foundational consultation and hundreds of development hours and the creation of a culture and staff training that adheres to these policies and principles.
- Why the change in wording on this form? A one liner or one pager in policy can be the culmination of a tremendous amount of back-end administrative analysis, consultation and development.
A young person experiencing anxiety, depression, frustration, substance abuse and other mental health challenges upon admission sometimes couldn’t care less about their Welcome and Orientation Package. We see it as an intentionally crafted informational package that meets the licensing requirements of our governing bodies. Policies that parents may or may not agree with? – Again likely either a poignant directive from licensing or a nuanced set of protocols that are intended to meet that identified standard.
By combining the collective efforts of both frontline staff and back end experts, Venture Academy has developed a system that allows for stabilization growth and change.
