The multidisciplinary approach is of particular importance for this age group. The clinical expertise of various health professionals results in optimal patient management and combines to provide the basis for appropriate interventions. For example, the input of the occupational therapist includes assessment and therapy for everyday functioning, and the psychosocial focus of the social worker provides community support and resources.

 

The Outreach Program can also provide mental health treatment through individual visits conducted in the home or community. 

 

An appropriate treatment option can be decided by you in consultation with your doctor.
