Prevention / Early Intervention Services are available to people who are at risk of or show signs of a mental health disorder.
Hospital-Based Psychiatric Services provide person centered, recovery-oriented and follow a Trauma Informed perspective. Emphasis is on delivering interventions that empower, build on individuals’ strengths and reinforce people’s sense of hope.
Inpatient psychiatry units have an interdisciplinary structured program consisting of individual psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, psychoeducational, group therapy, occupational therapy programs, family assessment and therapy, behavior therapy, recreational activities and electroconvulsive therapy.
Tertiary Psychiatric Services are specialized mental health services designed for people with severe mental illness that have not responded to treatment. These individuals have experienced ongoing difficulty with managing their illness and living in the community. The goal of these programs is to provide high-level care, treatment, and rehabilitation in a flexible and interactive community environment, followed by return to their home community as soon as possible. Admission to these programs are by referral only.
