CMHA Durham Open House Showcases New Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic
Oshawa – Some 100 community and business leaders joined representatives of local health care agencies at an Open House at Canadian Mental Health Association Durham (CMHA Durham), receiving specially guided tours of the centre and its variety of services. Showcased on tours were the new Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic, which provides primary health care services to Durham Region residents who do not have a health care provider, and the new Healthy Living Program.
OSHAWA – Families are one of the most important resources for individuals with mental illness. But without accurate information and adequate support, families are often unsure where to turn or what they can do to help their loved one. A new resource guide will help families get the information they need to connect to services, plan for the future, and work towards recovery.
