A Day at EHN Bellwood Toronto’s Depression, Mood, and Anxiety Inpatient Program

Morning

After enjoying a healthy, chef-prepared breakfast, you’ll set your intentions for the day with some self-reflection. Then you’ll attend an educational session on a topic like trauma or the connection between mental health, addiction, and technology. You’ll wrap up the morning with an invigorating workout.

Afternoon

After a delicious, nutritionist-planned lunch, you’ll attend a one-on-one therapy session or a workshop focused on goal setting or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Some days you’ll have free time to focus on self-care routines.

Evening

In the evening, you’ll practice the skills you’ve been learning in therapy with your DBT group. Then you’ll unwind with some more physical recreation, like a volleyball game with fellow patients, and dinner to follow.
