Other Programs from This Organization
| This program ensures that adults with serious acute mental disorders have access to responsive, sensitive, and relevant assessment and treatment, and are linked with service providers. The goal is to provide treatments which restore the capability of adults with serious acute mental disorders to resume activities in caring for their families, coping with their jobs and participating in their communities. We accept referrals from any source, will call the person for an intake assessment and from that point direct to the appropriate resource which may be found at the Mental Health Centre or out in the community or Greater Vancouver area. Can provide Psychiatric Consults if appropriate. We also assist with urgent response in the community, call the Intake Clinician for consult if you have an urgent client. The Mental Health Centre is not however an emergency resource or facility. |
