We are not an emergency service. If your patient is too ill to tolerate the wait for an assessment, please consider accessing a Psychiatric Crisis Service or Emergency Room at the nearest hospital.

LEGAL
Clients will not be seen primarily for legal or quasi-legal issues (WSIB, Family Court, report to the court, report to probation) alone, but could be seen if motivation is for treatment (for example: person on probation).

ADOLESCENT INPATIENTS
Referrals for Adolescent Inpatients must be done through Durham Region Central Intake.

NOT A LONG-TERM RESIDENCE
As a tertiary facility we are not able to accept referrals for long term placement or residential care.
