Higher level of care for adults 19 and over living with serious and ongoing symptoms of mental illness.

These services are available to adults 19 years and over who are diagnosed with a mental health condition and are experiencing ongoing symptoms that make it difficult to manage their lives in their community.

Tertiary services are delivered through a team including various health care professionals who provide consultation, assessments, treatment, social support and other supports.

Access to these services are generally through a hospital setting or a health care professional. In some cases a family doctor may be able to refer an individual to some tertiary programs. Please select your local Mental Health Centre, and contact them to ascertain what service you or your loved one's require. They will be able to provide further information on referral depending on the type of service you require.
