Transitional Care Services
We support those transitioning from inpatient psychiatric care unit back to the community.
What we do
Our Transitional Care Services team provides individual and group follow-up care for patients as they transition from our inpatient psychiatric unit back to the community. We work in partnership with patients to ensure the transition happens smoothly.
What to expect
After you have been discharged from our inpatient unit, a member from our interprofessional team will continue to provide you with compassionate care and specialized programming for up to four weeks.
We use a recovery-oriented approach which may include the following:
- Developing a recovery plan
- Assessing risks and creating a safety plan
- Providing counselling and guidance in managing your symptoms
- Medication management
Our Transitional Care Services team may also connect with your primary health-care provider for additional support and refer you to community services for financial assistance, income support and housing, if this is right for you.
Please note we are a teaching hospital, so you may see medical students, residents or other medical trainees as part of your care team. Learners are supervised by other members of our dedicated health-care team who work together to provide you with comprehensive care.
How to access our services
As this program is directed to individuals requiring a higher acuity of care, only internal referrals from the psychiatry care team involved in the patient’s inpatient stay will be accepted.
