WHO WE ARE
The Mobile Mental Health & Addictions Clinic (MMHAC) is a clinic on wheels that travels to participating rural and remote communities to increase access to mental health and addictions care. The goals of MMHAC are the following:
- Provides early intervention care in a culturally competent and safe manner
- Offers a variety of services together under one roof, close to home
- Reduces the need for clients to travel to access healthcare services
- Helps to ensure individuals receive the care and support they need when and where they need it
BENEFITS OF MMHAC
- Improves health outcomes by removing barriers to access such as geography, transportation, and stigma
- Addresses mental health challenges before they become more significant and debilitating
- Reduces healthcare costs by encouraging and easing intervention early
- Mitigates the need for higher intensity or crisis support later on
- Promotes health equity with services that are trauma-informed, culturally and developmentally appropriate and available where and when clients need them
MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM
The MMHAC multidisciplinary team is comprised of mental health and addictions services providers who offer a range of services. This includes intake and brief services, referrals to existing services, and psychiatric support and follow up. Clients are supported across the lifespan (young to old).
