The IWK Health Centre says its mental health and addictions clinic in Dartmouth, N.S., is laying the groundwork for a new model of care for kids and teens.

The site, which is the newest in the IWK's outpatient locations, took more than five years of planning before opening last October. It offers treatment programs for young people up to 19 years old.

Planning teams interviewed staff, patients and their families to determine where it should be located and what it should look like.
