Program overview

Stollery Mental Health Services Team

Limited access to early mental health care leads many young patients in crisis to the Stollery’s specialized pediatric Emergency Department. To address both urgent and non-emergency needs, funds are being used to expand services and integrate mental health care across the entire healthcare system

How Family of Support Funding Has Helped

Family of Support funds have helped to:

  • Support the development and operation of a mental health walk-in-clinic
  • Increase the capacity at the Stollery Outpatient & Urgent Psychiatry Clinic
  • Enhance care and prevent mental health-related escalations with enhanced training provided by the clinical nurse educators.
  • Reduce wait times for patients and families through increased capacity and improved coordination
