Entry to all outpatient programs and services at Mental Health & Addictions (MHAS) is through the Centralized Intake program. Centralized Intake responds to all initial requests for mental health and addictions information or services from individuals, family physicians, family members, or community agency members in the Five Hills Health Region. Program staff will briefly discuss concerns with the referring person and determine the appropriate response to the service request. Referrals may be assigned to a program area at MHAS or to one offered by another community agency. Priority for service is determined by the intensity of service required. In addition, the staff provides crisis intervention services.
