Community Mental Health Teams

Who Are We?
We are five (5) Community Mental Health Teams that provide adult mental health services in Grey Bruce.  The Teams are based in the communities of Markdale, Owen Sound, Wiarton, Hanover and Southampton.  As well there is a satellite office in Kincardine and regular outreach to the communities of Chesley, Walkerton, Durham and Meaford.

The Teams are operated by Mental Health Grey Bruce, three local organizations working in partnership to provide accessible, coordinated mental health services.

• Canadian Mental Health Association, Grey Bruce Branch
• Grey Bruce Health Services
• HopeGreyBruce Mental Health & Addictions Services

What Is Our Goal?
To provide mental health services which are effective, coordinated and as close to home as possible.  Team members work with each other and with other community supports and services to ensure that people with mental health needs and their families do not “fall through the cracks”.

Who Do We Serve?
People aged 16 years and older are eligible for services.  Our main focus is to assist people with serious mental illness, their families and people who are in acute need of mental health
services.

Is There a Wait For Service?
It depends on the type of services needed and the urgency and seriousness of the problem.  The South West Local Health Integration Network requires that we prioritize service for individuals who are disabled by a serious mental illness and those who have an acute need for mental health services.
