Touchstone Program

[Patricia]

TouchstoneMental Health provides innovative, person-centered services that foster hope, health, and well-being. Our programs connect people with community services, resources, and health care, and we provide ongoing support so they can thrive in their community.

We fulfill our mission by providing services that improve mental health and housing stability, reduce homelessness, and increase self-sufficiency for the people we serve. Each year, we help more than 1,500 people regain their confidence, embrace their self-worth, and find a sense of belonging and hope for their future.

Touchstone programs help people move forward in their mental health recovery and develop the skills they need to live well in their community. From residential treatment, community services, and housing programs, we meet a wide range of mental health needs and focus on health and wellness every step of the way.

Touchstones develops discussion-based curricula, training, and programming to help learners of all ages and backgrounds practice and build these vital skills. We have nearly 40 years of experience refining our unique method and creating global programs that systemically transform debate into discussion and build active listening, analytical thinking, and respectful dialogue toward a more inclusive world.

Touchstone is a structured day program for young people aged 12 to 17 years and their families. The program works with young people who are struggling to cope with relationships, mood difficulties and impulsive self-harming behaviours.

The focus of MBT is supporting young people and their families to increase their capacity to better understand the link between feelings and behaviours and how they impact on their day to day lives. In this process, the young person is encouraged and supported to develop their own ability to manage life stressors and access help when and where needed. For this reason, commitment of the young person and their family to engage with the program is essential.

Young people are referred by their community CAMHS teams for an assessment. The assessment process allows us to meet the young person and their family, to find out a little more about each other and confirm suitability for the program whilst also identifying individual therapeutic goals. Our team will strive to find a time that is suitable for the young person and their family.

You can really tell that all of the faculty truly want you to succeed. They are so willing to do what it takes to make sure that each honors student is comfortable and feels like they have their own place at TWU and in the program. They go above and beyond to take care of their students.

In response to COVID-19 and for the safety of our current students and staff we are not scheduling any in-person visits right now. You can still contact us with any questions at hon...@twu.edu, 940-898-2337 or complete the form below.

This independent living program is designed to take the individual needs of each resident into consideration, but our goal for each individual is the same: to successfully make the transition into a responsible, independent young adult.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Touchstone Foundation continues this vital program to help youth (and parents of dependent children) in need of mental health copay assistance. Our ability to expand the program to cover copays and deductibles is made possible by the generous grant from The Steinman Foundation.
