According to Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the average wait time for a psychiatry appointment is 67 days. Many patients turn to the ER simply because they have nowhere else to go. To bridge this gap, urgent care clinics dedicated to mental health have emerged, offering timely support for a wide range of concerns. Incorporating comprehensive mental health assessments into these clinics can offer patients and providers diagnostic accuracy and individualized treatment options during these distressing times. Earlier detection means earlier intervention.✨ #mentalhealth #health #mentalhealthawareness #urgentcare #psychiatry #emergency

I appreciate the vital services provided by the mental health clinic, but I remain concerned about the challenges faced by unhoused individuals in accessing these services. I believe a rapid access mobile team could be instrumental in reaching those who need support the most. Imagine meeting individuals where they are, on the street corner, and providing immediate assistance. Recently, there was another tragic incident in Vancouver highlighting the critical role of mental health. There have been calls to Pivot, but what does this mean? Some challenges faced by unhoused or housed individuals in non-supportive housing when accessing mental health services include: 1. Lack of stable primary care physician. 2. Limited resources and support. 3. Stigma and discrimination. 4. Transportation and mobility issues. 5. Exacerbation of mental health issues by homelessness. Where can individuals safely reside while waiting for and receiving the necessary services and support? Jail and emergency rooms are not the answer, as they do not provide the appropriate care and can further traumatize individuals. We need safe, supportive housing that protects both the individual and society. While confining people may be seen as a breach of their rights, allowing dangerous individuals to roam the streets poses a risk to everyone. It is crucial to repurpose empty buildings with a harm-informed approach focused on mental and physical wellness, allowing individuals to stabilize, heal, and eventually move forward. Enough is enough – it's time to prioritize mental health and well-being for all. Keir Macdonald Ravi Kahlon Ken Sim, FCPA, FCA Jennifer Whiteside BC Housing
