The recovery journey from mental illness and the maintenance of emotional well-being are challenges that many of us face in everyday life.

Patients may be struggling with a chronic mental illness or emotional instability due to difficult life circumstances. Each patient has a unique story and recovery process.

We offer inpatient and outpatient services for adults, outpatient services for children and youth, and our Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) Clinic, which is a drop-in for people with substance abuse issues.
