The Ontario government is improving access to high-quality mental health and addictions care for unserved and underserved areas in Haldimand-Norfolk, Niagara and the surrounding region.
The province is investing in 4 new mobile mental health and addictions clinics.
The clinic will include a multidisciplinary team of mental health and addictions service providers, as well as appropriately trained social workers and/or nurse practitioners who can deliver a wide range of services, including intake and brief services, referrals to existing services, and psychiatric support and follow-up.
Community Addiction and Mental Health Services of Haldimand and Norfolk, which provides a continuum of community-based services for persons with mental illness and/or addiction concerns within Haldimand and Norfolk Counties, will be the organization responsible for overseeing the development and operation of the mobile mental health clinic in the region.
