Outpatient psychiatrist offices are available across SHN’s sites and Community Mental Health Centre (1940 Eglinton Ave. E). To better meet the needs of Scarborough residents and their families, SHN partnered with the Central East GTA Family Health Team to provide Shared Care. This is a collaborative model where a psychiatrist along with other members of the mental health care team, when needed, visit the Family Health Team office a few times each month to work with family physicians and their staff to assess patients with mental health issues and work together on a treatment plan best suited for each patient. This exciting collaborative model is being expanded to include other family practice offices in Scarborough.
