Our goal is to provide comprehensive psychiatric assessment, consultation and treatment for patients in the Toronto Western Hospital geographical catchment area, UHN inpatients, patients from the UHN emergency service and patients from other medical services at UHN. We are especially sensitive to issues of language, culture, and immigration and work closely with community agencies and family doctors.

Program Services
Patients are first seen by clinicians who complete an initial history. A staff psychiatrist then sees patients with the clinician and a plan of treatment or referral is formulated. We offer:
| • | Mindful Cognitive Behavior Therapy — Meditation training plus cognitive therapy groups are offered to patients with primarily anxiety disorder |
| • | Family Support Program — This is a language specific psycho-educational program for relatives of patients with major mental illness |
| • | Toronto Urban Health Alliance — This is a program using a Shared Care Model with Family Physicians in 5 Community Health Centers. Psychiatrists and clinicians provide on site psychiatric services to these programs. |
| • | Spanish Speaking Program — see Spanish Mental Health Program (SMHP) |
