About The Program
Virtual Community Care Hubs (VCCHs) are office spaces located throughout our community where individuals can schedule appointments for mental health, addictions, primary care, peer support, social and vocational programming and health-related services operating within the justice system (e.g., mental health court diversion). The hubs are equipped with video and audio-conferencing technology to enable telehealth services by providing a supportive environment that makes distanced communication feel as personal as in-person care.
CMHA Toronto, in partnership with Centre for Immigrant & Community Services (CICS), Addiction Services Central Ontario (ASCO) and Unison and Scarborough Health Network (SHN), strives to improve population health and reduce inequities among population groups by leveraging virtual care. The Virtual Community Care Hubs initiative received provincial funding to enhance the pandemic response and recovery plan through appropriate virtual care options, which are vital in ensuring continuity of health services.
Through the VCCHs, we aim to serve populations with limited access to health care sessions due to unstable housing, technology, internet, or access to a private and safe space.
