Quick Access Mental Health Clinics in Fergus and Mount Forest now permanent!06-17-2019 |
|
|
Family Counselling and Support Services for Guelph-Wellington is thrilled to announce that the current short term Quick Access Mental Health Clinics being offered in Fergus and Mount Forest are now a permanent service! This change is due to funding received from the Waterloo Wellington Local Health Integration Network (WWLHIN) as the provincial government has announced more funding for mental health and addictions! FCSSGW has offered a no appointment needed, Quick Access Clinic in Guelph for nearly 10 years with funding from the United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin (UWGWD). Our clinics, in Guelph and North Wellington, are seeing clients with an increasing level of complexity including self-harm and suicidal ideation. There is an increased rate of death by suicide in North Wellington (as compared to the rest of the province) and waitlists for mental health services. Quick Access Mental Health Clinics and Brief Therapy are evidence-based models proven to reduce client stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. FCSSGW has been working with these two models for decades. In Guelph, client complexity has been steadily increasing; as of two years ago 15-20% of clients were experiencing thoughts of self-harm (including suicidal ideation) and this figure has jumped to over 40%. Complexity percentages are slightly less in North Wellington. Clinic times and locations will remain the same until further notice. |
