Lanark
County Mental Health is a community based mental health Agency serving
Lanark County adults and transitional aged youth who experience moderate
or severe mental illness.
The
Agency is sponsored by the Board of the Perth and Smiths Falls District
Hospital and supported by an active Community Advisory Board.
We
provide streamlined access to a range of crisis response, assessment,
treatment, rehabilitation, court diversion and intensive community support
services. A number of area agencies and hospitals partner with us to
ensure comprehensive client support.
The
Agency also hosts specialized services including the Geriatric Psychiatry
Outreach Team and general psychiatry consultants via service protocol
agreements with Brockville Mental Health Centre [ROMHC] and facilitates
the LEAD Team [Crisis Response Network] in collaboration with our local
community hospitals, police services and partner agencies.
Counselling and other clinical services are available to support adult
victims of domestic violence and / or sexual assault. In addition to
providing individual assessment and treatment, the Agency is available for
family and professional consultation regarding trauma.
Services
are provided confidentially, respectfully and within a shared care model
that supports the development of a client's natural support system and
recovery.
Individuals meeting the mandate of the Agency will be invited to
participate in an intake assessment interview.
While
crisis services are promptly available, limited staff resources may result
in a client waiting period for some services.
All
service enquiries are welcome. |
