Calgary, Canada Alberta Health Services Full time

**Your Opportunity**:
The transition units meet the need to move clients from acute care to a place for rehabilitation prior to discharge to the most appropriate living situation. There are six units in three facilities. There are three specialized units, neuro-rehab, musculoskeletal and an enhanced care unit (medically complex). The Regional Community Transition Program provide a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation for clients following surgery, stroke, lengthy hospitalizations, or other physical/medical issues requiring further rehabilitation prior to clients returning home. The units are covered by Mental Health Clinicians and Psychiatrists. Transitions referrals cover a wide variety of referral reasons, including adjustment, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder delirium, and dementia, to name a few. The team is also referred for determining capacity and enacting legal documents (Personal Directive/Enduring Power of Attorney). It is often the first time a client is seen and assessed for cognitive decline and this may or may not impact where the person is discharged to live post rehab.

As a Mental Health Consultant, you will work as a member of an interdisciplinary team responsible for providing assessment and treatment recommendations to professional caregivers and family physicians regarding the management and treatment of individuals with complex mental health disorders. You will also be responsible for the provision of education and support to professional caregivers and family members, and for consultation and liaising with other professionals along a continuum of care to facilitate a coordinated network of mental health services.
