The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is committed to providing comprehensive, well-coordinated, accessible care for people who are struggling with mental health problems or addiction.
We have created a wide range of clinical programs, support and rehabilitation to meet the diverse needs of people who are at risk and at different stages of their lives and illnesses. Our services include:

• assessment
• brief early interventions
• residential programs
• continuing care
• family support
  

We work with family doctors, home support services, community agencies and other health care providers to ensure that patients/clients and their families can receive assistance in their own communities and homes if possible. We also address the larger issues relating to the four major factors affecting health: housing, employment, social support and income support.

What is CAMH's philosophy of care?

Our client-centred philosophy of care recognizes that everyone is different and that each client has individual social, physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological needs. Wherever possible, the care provided incorporates the preferences, needs, aspirations and cultural beliefs of each individual into the treatment plan. We strive to be sensitive to race, culture, ethnicity, gender, age, abilities, religion and sexual orientation. Clients, their families and significant others are all active partners throughout the care process.
