Algoma Public Health's transferring mental health and addictions services to another organization.
The health unit says the community alcohol/drug assessment and community mental health programs it currently administers will be transferred into the renamed Canadian Mental Health Association Algoma tomorrow, assuring there should be no disruption in services.
It adds CMHA Algoma's in the process of redesigning its service model to include a single point of access for incoming calls and referrals, aligning with best practice priorities for mental health and addictions by allowing clients to be immediately linked to a staff person who'll connect them to the appropriate services.
