Mental Health

The Community Mental Health Program provides a welcome, client-based, recovery oriented service for those who are experiencing difficulty in coping with a wide range of mental health difficulties including co-occurring addictions. Services are voluntary (except as outlined under the Mental Health Act ) and provided as determined appropriate and available in each individual’s circumstance. A continuum of Mental Health Services exists, ranging from community-based peer support and professional services, to emergency response and hospital-based services for very acute needs.
