Telepsychiatry

Presently there are two parts to the service:

• One time psychiatric consults with outlying communities.
• Psychiatric consults with short term follow up (2 - 6 visits) for Mental Health Outpatient Program (MHOP) clients by a psychiatrist from another region of Ontario.

Further follow up is provided for you by your family physician.
