Health professionals from Mental Health Services and Addiction Services work closely together so that you will receive the most appropriate care for your needs. What is available for me at Community Mental Health Services? The first step in service is screening. When you talk with an intake worker you will determine which programs and services are best suited to your treatment needs. Once your needs are screened, you may be linked to one of the following mental health services: • A group treatment education program for some mental health conditions, such as severe stress, anxiety, or depression. • A community mental health specialist (nurse, social worker, occupational therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist) who can work with you to assess your condition. Together you will identify the treatment plan, program, and services that will work best for you to meet your needs and reach your goal. • Services outside of Community Mental Health that would better meet your needs. Some Community Mental Health Services are more specialized and have criteria in order to access these services. These include our Seniors Mental Health Resource Team (Queens and Prince Counties), our Outreach Teams in each county, and several of our group treatment programs. What if I need to go to hospital? • Experienced crisis intervention professionals respond promptly to mental health (psychiatric) emergencies at both the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) and Prince County Hospital (PCH) emergency departments. • If you need to be hospitalized there are inpatient mental health units at both the QEH and PCH. • Specialized acute, longer-term treatment and rehabilitation are offered at Hillsborough Hospital.
