CMHS has re-opened in-person services and continues to provide virtual services.
​
All CMHS sites are mask friendly, with the exception of our Live-in Treatment facility, where masks are required. The safety and wellbeing of clients and staff remain our top priority. We will continue to follow the advice and guidelines provided by Public Health Ontario, by the provincial Ministry of Health and by Health Canada. Additionally, we will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation in Ontario and adjust service delivery as needed. This may mean the reinstatement of COVID protocols in the future.
​
CMHS Live-In Treatment Services are open and are being delivered using enhanced health and safety/infection prevention and control measures.
