Through Duncan’s Mental Health Substance Use programs, the successful candidate will consult to:

  • Short Term Services (community Crisis Response and Brief interventions) through which the Psychiatry team provides part of the programs’ response to GP referrals.
  • Case Management Services for moderate community support and a more intense ACT team (Assertive Community Treatment); As well, the program is integrating with community responses to the opioid crisis.
