Pro-Social Recreation and New Wellness Program at DSYTC:
Empowering Teens for a Healthier Future
At Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre (DSYTC), pro-social recreation is an essential part of our programming, helping teens engage in healthy, fun activities in a supportive, drug-free environment. These activities, like hikes, sports, art, and music, reduce boredom and build skills that support long-term recovery.
Thanks to the generous support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, DSYTC is excited to introduce a new wellness room and hands-on workshops. The wellness room provides a space for youth to focus on both physical and mental health, offering a variety of activities to help manage stress and promote well-being. The workshops will also allow teens to earn high school credits while exploring new skills and potentially discovering new hobbies or career paths.
