ReLinC

ReLinC Services is a community-based case management service for people aged 18 and over, with a history of serious and persistent mental illness, often a psychotic disorder.

Case Managers work in partnership with clients to develop the skills and supports they need to live successfully in the community.

The focus is on goal based activity and community integration that supports a client's recovery and eventual discharge. They meet with clients either in their own homes or in the community.

Short Term Case Management

STCM provides time-limited and task-oriented case management to individuals being discharged from the Inpatient Psychiatry Unit who are diagnosed with a psychotic or mood disorder.

The intent of these referrals is to meet the short-term needs of individuals experiencing increased levels of recidivism as illustrated through their contact with the THP Emergency Department, as well as our Inpatient Programs.
