The Royal is a mental illness treatment, teaching and research hospital focused on patients with complex mental illness and addiction

At The Royal, we provide treatment for people living with serious mental illness while advancing research to bring the most effective new discoveries into practice. We believe that mental illness does not define a person. Our goal is to help patients move beyond the labels and stigma, and to create opportunities for healing, growth and choice.

Through specialized programs, leading research and strong community partnerships, we work alongside people and families to create spaces of dignity and possibility—where recovery is real, and lives can be reclaimed.
