First-line services
Individual support, group support or self-management support offered at 5 sites in the Laval territory. The goal of this service is to help you cope with your distress, get support in the recovery process, and develop tools to deal with the impact of the disease. Other goals are to help you access the right type of specialized service and to refer you and your family to resources that meet your needs.
Ambulatory and specialized second-line services
These varied services can provide you with support as close to home as possible. They include variable support, assertive community treatment (ACT) provided by a mobile team, an outpatient clinic, a day hospital, and a geriatric psychiatry service for seniors.
Inpatient psychiatric unit services
This unit provides short-term hospitalization for adults who have a severe psychiatric disorder, whose mental health has deteriorated, or who are experiencing temporary psychological distress. The goal of hospitalization is to help people stabilize from a crisis or to reduce the symptoms that prevent them from functioning normally.
Residential ressources services
Residential ressources services are temporary (or permanent) environments that are as close as possible to a person’s natural living environment. This service is for people who have a serious and persistent mental disorder that prevents them from living independently. The service helps people develop and maintain their independence and ability to get involved in society.
Community organizations
Many community organizations help people with a mental illness. They provide listening; support; guidance; employability activities; social, sports and cultural activities; as well as support to help you defend your rights.
The family members of someone with a mental illness can also get support and respite services.
