South Bruce Grey Health Centre (SBGHC), Brightshores Health System (Brightshores) and the Canadian Mental Health Association Grey Bruce (CMHA Grey Bruce) announce a collaborative effort to improve access to outpatient mental health and addictions care in the region.
As part of this collaboration, Brightshores will provide outpatient mental health and addiction services at the Durham hospital site, supported by CMHA Grey Bruce. This shared location brings vital support closer to home for Durham area residents, improving accessibility and ensuring they have easier access to the care they need.
“Brightshores and CMHA work together to provide mental health and addictions care across Grey Bruce. Having a location in Durham is an asset to our care delivery. This collaboration with SBGHC will improve the support that we provide to our communities through outpatient mental health and addiction care,” said Naomi Vodden, Director of Mental Health and Addictions Services, Brightshores.
This collaboration is grounded in a patient-first, team-based approach to care, ensuring accessible and effective support for the community.
“Access to mental health and addictions care is essential for the health and wellbeing of our communities. We are excited for this opportunity to collaborate with our local health system partners to enhance access to care for this specialized service,” said Nancy Shaw, SBGHC President and CEO.
Services offered include:
To access these services practitioners, family members or individuals can call the Brightshores Mental Health and Addictions Navigation Line at 519-376-3303 or submit a referral form.
Referral forms are available on the Brightshores website at www.brightshores.ca
At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
