ABOUT ROBERTS SMART CENTRE
The Roberts/Smart Centre (RSC) is an accredited, intensive treatment centre and the only bilingual tertiary mental health provider in Ontario. We are committed to empowering youth facing severe psychosocial challenges, often serving as their last line of defense after navigating numerous other services.
With over 50 years of experience, our comprehensive, trauma-informed approach includes school-based programs, community support, live-in treatment, and specialized anti-human trafficking initiatives. At RSC, we strive to foster resilience and support young people to forge their paths to success.
Roberts Smart Centre’s story began in 1973, when Dr. C.A. Roberts and Mr. R.S. Smart, joined forces and founded the Ottawa Carleton Regional Residential Treatment Centre for the Ottawa Health Region.
The Centre quickly expanded and now operates:
Secure Treatment Facility
Two Open Live-In Treatment programs in a home setting
School-based Mental Health and Day Treatment programs in schools across Eastern Ontario
The Roberts/Smart Academy, a fully accredited private school
CORATH (anti-human trafficking initiative)
Therapeutic Camping and Outdoor Treatment
Community Reintegration program
Programs for families
Renamed the Roberts/Smart Centre in 1997, we provide treatment to youth from across Ontario dealing with complex mental health and behavioural challenges in a welcoming, supportive, and safe environment. Our multi-disciplinary team includes psychiatrists, occupational therapists, clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, and child and youth counsellors who have special training in trauma-informed, client-centered, therapeutic crisis Intervention, and collaborative problem-solving.
Our approach to mental health treatment is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered. Through our programs and services, we help youth to recover and heal through treatment, education, and life-skills development.
After a detailed review of our care, governance, and safety standards, RSC achieved reaccreditation through 2029 by the Canadian Centre for Accreditation. For youth and families, this means knowing that the services they receive meet the highest standards of safety and quality. Accreditation also connects us with other accredited organizations across Ontario, giving us the chance to share knowledge and strengthen the care that young people depend on.
OUR MISSION
The Roberts/Smart Centre is a tertiary provider and provincial leader in the delivery of inclusive, community-based, individualized treatment and clinical services in both official languages to improve the lives of youth and their families from across Ontario living with complex mental health and behavioural needs.
OUR VISION
We envision a future in which youth with complex mental health and behavioural challenges receive innovative, highest quality, progressive and supportive treatment - when they need it and in the way they need it - to help them heal, learn, grow and live their full potential.
OUR VALUES
Strength-based
Individualized opportunity for youth
Respect and collaboration
Commitment to service excellence
Cultural safety and sensitivity, inclusivity, and diversity
Excellence in governance
PROGRAMS & SERVICES
Secure Treatment Facility
Our Secure Treatment program is an intensive, live-in treatment option for youth ages 12-18 dealing with complex mental health and behavioural issues. Admission to our Secure Treatment Facility in Ottawa requires a court order and is open to youth from all over Ontario.
RSC is working with the Ministry of Health and the Health Capital Investment Branch team to continue to move forward plans for a new Secure Treatment Facility. This work aligns with the Provincial initiative to expand intensive services for youth with mental health challenges. This future space will give young people a modern, therapeutic environment designed to support healing and growth. It represents an important step toward ensuring that youth have the right setting to build skills, find stability, and prepare for brighter futures.
Open Live-In Treatment Centre
The Centre operates two open live-in programs for youth with mental health concerns. These programs are in urban homes in Ottawa. They exist to provide care in both official languages for those youth whose difficulties require treatment on a 24-hour basis. The program capitalizes on the “in-residence” component of intervention in providing a therapeutic milieu and programs related to lifestyle, education, and recreation.
Day Treatment Program
Day treatment provides youth with a therapeutic, structured, meaningful, and directed learning program. As these programs address the academic needs of the youth, they simultaneously provide support to the treatment plan of the student.
Roberts/Smart Academy
The Roberts/Smart Academy is open to youth aged 12-18, who come from Ottawa or elsewhere in the province, with mental health and behavioural needs that exceed what a traditional school setting could provide.
School-Based Mental Health
The RSC provides mental health services in local high schools through the School-Based Mental Health program. These services provide individualized, youth-driven support to teens within the school setting as well throughout the summer months where needed. Services provided focus on prevention, reduction, and support for mental health challenges.
Caregiver and Family Education and Support
Counsellors offer a family support group along with teaching an innovative, compassionate, and proven approach, called Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) that helps with understanding and supporting youth. Learning side-by-side with other caregivers and parents provides an optimum setting to shift understanding and learn a new ways of working with their child.
CORATH - Empowering Youth Experiencing Human Trafficking.
Creating Opportunities and Resources Against the Trafficking of Humans (CORATH) is a community program for youth aged 12 to 24 who have been or are at risk of being trafficked, notably through sexual exploitation.
2024-2025 RSC by the Numbers
At the Roberts/Smart Centre, our financial decisions reflect our values and our deep commitment to youth. We continued to direct our resources toward what matters most: supporting young people on their path to healing. As a result, our greatest investment remains in people. From front-line staff to clinical professionals and specialized teams, it is their care, expertise, and compassion that drive meaningful change. Prioritizing salaries, benefits, and professional supports is not just a financial choice - it is a recognition that our staff are the foundation of everything we do.
