| About St. Joseph’s Healthcare, Hamilton |
||
| Founded in 1890, St. Joseph’s Healthcare, Hamilton is a large teaching hospital affiliated with the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University and Mohawk College. The Mental Health and Addictions Program at St. Joseph’s Healthcare provides services both within the general hospital site (also known as the Charlton Site) and the nearby West 5th Campus. In addition, the King Street Campus is a third hospital site, with some consultation and DBT services provided. The current group of psychology staff was formed following the merger of the psychology departments at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital. With more than 275 inpatient mental health beds, and the capacity to serve almost 5000 outpatients each year, St. Joseph’s Healthcare has become the centre for adult mental health care throughout the central region of Southern Ontario. |
||
| The Mental Health Program offers a full spectrum of care for adults ranging from emergency services to acute and specialized inpatient services to specialty outpatient programs. As a result, residents will have the opportunity to gain varied experience in assessment and intervention with individuals with a wide range of difficulties. Because the Mental Health Program, and indeed St. Joseph’s Healthcare as a whole, is committed not only to training but also to clinical research, residents are also encouraged to become involved in the ongoing research occurring across a number of programs. |
