Regional Mental Health

A range of Mental Health Services (MHS) are offered by Peterborough Regional Health Centre and supported by the Central East Local Health Integration Network (CE LHIN). MHS provides regional leadership and expertise in conjunction with community partners in the assessment, stabilization and treatment of individuals and their families with serious mental health and addiction concerns.

MHS is made up of seven multidisciplinary clinical programs that are both integrated and coordinated in providing specialized services:

• Adult Outpatient Program
• Adult Inpatient Program
• Family & Youth Clinic
• Psychiatric Assessment Services for the Elderly (PASE)
• Schizophrenia Clinic
• Regional Community Treatment Order (CTO) Program
  The regional role of CTO Coordinator is to help ensure safe, effective care for persons with serious mental health issues who have been issued a community treatment order (CTO) allowing them to receive care and treatment within their own community rather than in hospital. The CTO coordinator works with clients in the 4 counties of Peterborough, Haliburton, Northumberland and the City of Kawartha Lakes.
• Regional Early Psychosis Intervention Program
  This is a regional service which helps individuals who have experienced the onset of a psychosis benefit from early treatment and provide support to their families.

Services are also provided through the use of televideo in partnership with Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN).

MHS emphasizes sound clinical treatment with therapeutic interventions to optimize overall level of mental health functioning.
