Since the abrupt closure of the Valley Hill Youth Treatment Facility in September, SGEU’s priority has been ensuring that members are protected, and that their collective bargaining agreement is upheld.

These past months have been a period of uncertainty for our members, their patients, and their community. The Valley Hill Youth Treatment Facility provides crucial services to youth in need, and its absence has been deeply felt by those who rely on its support.

SGEU is pleased that there is a plan in place to reopen this vital facility once a new executive director is hired. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and ensure members are supported in their transition back to work.
