We’ve laid it all out for you below.
1 in 5 people who visited the ER due to a mental health crisis came back within 30 days of their initial visit (Southwest LHIN, 2018).
These are very real andvery serious barriers preventing people from finding care when it’s desperately needed.
Shane Christensen from Whitby, Ontario knows what it’s like to overcome these obstacles. He wanted to share this with you.
(Emergency Psychiatric Assessment Treatment and Healing Unit)
Staff begin treatment the moment a patient arrives
Specialized care for everyone experiencing different mental health crises
Frees up ER doctors and nurses to focus on other pressing issues (COVID-19)
Discharged patients are given a follow-up appointment to ensure they’re healthy and cared for
The odds are stacked against patients. They need a critical mass of support behind them to get this emergency room built.
Ontario Shores are leaders in the recovery model of care and are best positioned to develop the first EmPATH Unit in Canada and to help advance this model across Ontario. Our mental health emergency room will be there for people in Durham and across Ontario.
This is an important and historic project. Every person and every name that joins this campaign brings us one step closer to building this emergency room.
“It’s time to prioritize mental health care in Ontario. I want this emergency room built at Ontario Shores.”
