Abstract:
Competent, convenient mental health assessment and psychosocial intervention are seldom delivered in the right place, at the right time and by the right person. One solution to this problem is to have mental health services integrated into urgent care in a community health centre. Unfortunately, although there is literature on urgent care centres, mental health centres and psychiatric emergency rooms, there is scant information about the integration of mental health services into an urgent care centre.
