Mental Health Services for Adults

Emergency/crisis services

Emergency/Crisis Services are for individuals who are in a crisis due to mental illness and/or substance abuse. First, the person is seen in Osler’s Emergency Department, then follow-up care or support is provided at the hospital or in the community with one of Osler’s community-based partners.

Hours: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Referrals: not necessary for emergency/crisis services.

Patients are triaged in the Emergency Departments to rule out non-psychiatric causes of symptoms and to ensure medical stability. Mobile crisis services for adults are delivered by our community partner, Saint Elizabeth Health Care in both Peel and Toronto.

Mobile Crisis of Peel: 905-278-9036 (residents of Brampton Civic Hospital service area)
