Description

We are officially launching our multidisciplinary interprofessional teams It has never been a more EXCITING time to be a part of CMHA Peel Dufferin.

The vision of redesigning our mental health and addiction regionally based teams was cultivated from the experience of having to adapt to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic created opportunities to innovate and reimagine services that align with the rapidly changing mental health and addictions needs of our community.

Using the Quadruple Aim framework, we developed a stepped care model, which offers clients a wide range of interventions within a Multi-disciplinary Team.

Clients and families will get access to the most appropriate interventions, with the right intensity, as quickly as possible. The development of the model was driven by assessment, using best practices and standards of care.

Guiding Principles of Quadruple Aim:

Improved the Work Life of Providers
Reduce the per capita cost of healthcare
Improve the patient and caregiver experience
Improve the health of populations

These Multidisciplinary Teams (MDT) will be available across the Region of Peel and Dufferin and will include critical roles that deliver evidence-based services.

MDT staff will have more flexibility with how they work with clients, they will have access to more technology and will participate in various trainings that enhance clinical skills and support progressive career development.
