Continuum of Care pilot project
Over six months ago, Portage implemented a Continuum of Care pilot project at Cassidy Lake. This program ensures a two-year individualised follow-up for all Atlantic youth who have spent time at Cassidy Lake, regardless of how long they have remained in treatment; whether only one day, three weeks , or two months. The impact has been carefully observed over time and Portage is pleased to report that the Continuum of Care model is showing great potential. Read more...

Accreditation Process
 Having received primary accreditation in 2008, Portage now has its sights set on full accreditation for the end of 2010. Representatives from Accreditation Canada will be visiting each Portage centre from June 7-10, 2010, after which they will produce an evaluation report on the measures that have been put in place since their last visit.
Accreditation will recognise Portage for the quality of the services provided, the capabilities of the employees, and the expertise of the organisation. Recognition from Accreditation Canada demonstrates that Portage is engaged in a continuous process of improving the quality of its services.
