Catulpa Community Support Services began providing children’s mental health services for children and their families in Orillia in 1973 as Tamarac Treatment Centre. The centre was licensed for 12 residential beds and 12 daycare places in a school program.
In 1978 the residential program closed and work began to expand services to the Barrie area. Case management/advocacy services for children and adults with developmental disabilities, as well as in school specialized services for children with Autism were added. The agency became Catulpa Tamarac Child and Family Services.
In 2003 we became Catulpa Community Support Services Inc. to be more representative of the type of services provided by the agency.
In 2008 the Ministry of Community and Social Services and Ministry of Children and Youth Services selected Catulpa as the host agency for the regional components of the Central East Region Complex Special Needs Process Model for Integrated Service Planning and Resource Allocation.
Today, we are proud of the many individualized services and programs we are able to offer to children, youth, adults and families within our communities.
