About The Program
The Hospitals to Homes (H2H) Program connects individuals who present with mental illness and/or addiction at any of the three Scarborough Health Network (SHN) hospitals with access to high-quality care and follow-up in their community after they are discharged from the hospital. The H2H team encourages individuals to manage mental health and addictions in the community and supports the transition from inpatient to outpatient by providing information, education, resources and community care planning.
The main focus of the program is service navigation–ensuring individuals have access not only to community resources, but also to services within CMHA Toronto and the Scarborough Health Network. The H2H team collaborates with the Scarborough Health Network and Pinewood Centre of Lakeridge Health to provide a coordinated response to meet individuals’ needs.
Clients are referred by Scarborough Health Network hospitals.
