What enterphase child & family services does

Enterphase Child & Family Services (E.C.F.S.) is a privately held Ontario children's mental health agency founded in 1995 by Executive Director Harold Cleary in collaboration with Storey Homes Ltd. founders Bob Storey and Hugh McClure. Headquartered in Oshawa, Ontario, the agency operates nine licensed residential facilities and 14 Day Treatment classrooms serving children and youth ages 4-18 across the Durham Region, Greater Toronto Area, and Peterborough. Its service portfolio includes 24-hour live-in residential treatment, day treatment classrooms co-located within school board facilities, multi-disciplinary clinical services (psychological assessment, individual and family therapy, psychiatric consultation), Enhanced Support Services for Children's Aid Society foster and kinship homes, the E.T.O.P. transitional program for hard-to-serve youth ages 16-21, a summer Day Camp, and the Youth Transitioning to Independence Program.

The agency's clinical model is built on a Wraparound, strength-based treatment planning approach that integrates extended family, community members, and multi-disciplinary professionals around individualized care plans. Treatment modalities include individual psychotherapy, family-based interventions, psychiatric consultation, medication services, and structured Plan of Care meetings held monthly for the first six months and quarterly thereafter. Staff are extensively trained in the proprietary UMAB (Understanding & Managing Aggressive Behaviours) crisis intervention framework and related clinical, safety, and medication administration protocols.

Enterphase operates as a referral-driven, government-funded social service provider under the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, with revenue generated on a per diem basis through Children's Aid Societies and child welfare agencies rather than direct client billing. The agency is an active member of the Ontario Association of Residences Treating Youth (OARTY), a provincial network representing over 100 agencies and 3,365 residential beds, and maintains core partnerships with Durham Children's Aid Society, The Children's Aid Society of Toronto, The Catholic Children's Aid Society, and four Ontario school boards. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined individually based on program type, resource requirements, and client needs.
