TED (Targeted Engagement and Diversion)
Shepherd’s of Good Hope, 256 King Edward Ave
Targeted Engagement and Diverstion (TED) is a health care program which is embedded in the Temporary Enhanced Shelter Program (TESP) operated by Shepherds of Good Hope. TED provides accessible treatment and care for health care for people experiencing homelessness who have complex healthcare need. This includes nursing, mental health services, intensive case management, peer support for appointments, nurse practitioners, psychiatry, access to an internist and medical monitoring. TED is also a 24-hour monitoring service for homeless people under the influence of drugs and alcohol which allows them to safely detox in the community rather than in a hospital ER.
