After your referral has been accepted, a case worker will phone you to set up first visit.

At that visit, an in-home case worker and psychiatrist will ask you questions as part of an assessment.

We will then work with you and your family to decide on a treatment plan that will meet your needs. Treatment plans may include:

• Medication
• Psychotherapy
• Relaxation techniques

We may also offer case management services that include:

• Advocating for the best services for you
• Ongoing monitoring and support
• Referring and setting up appointments with other services and programs

You can expect to have several follow up visits from our team. Follow-ups can be both in person and virtual.

• OHIP card or other health insurance information
• A friend or family member for support
• A list of questions you want to ask
• A list of your medications and supplements

You need a referral from a health-care professional to visit our clinic.
