Making a Referral to CAMH

The CAMH Adult Referral Form (PDF) can be utilized to refer to any CAMH Clinical Program (Child and Family Program excepted). Please utilize the Child, Youth and Family Referral form (PDF) for referrals to this program.

Please note: MD referral is required for all programs except Addictions, Schizophrenia, and Dual Diagnosis.

If you know which CAMH Clinical Programs you would like to make a referral to, please complete the Referral Form and fax back to that Program (see contact information below).

If you are not sure where your referral should be sent, please send to the Centralized Assessment, Triage and Support Program (CATS). The CATS Program will direct the referral appropriately and the referral source will be provided with feedback regarding the status of the referral.

Any available reports from prior psychiatric, psychological or neurological assessments should be included with the referral form.
Requests must include a completed referral form.

Thank you for your interest in services at CAMH. Please feel free to contact us to request or submit referral forms or to inquire about the status of a specific referral.
