MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTIONS
Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) gives care and support to people with mental health disorders and harmful involvement with substance use/gambling. This includes health promotion and prevention, and general and specialized treatment programs. These programs include outpatient/community-based programs, home/school-based interventions and inpatient services.
MHA works with other agencies, programs and experts, as well as the IWK Health Centre, to study the needs of people, communities and groups across Nova Scotia. This information helps us find out:
- how we can give the best care to support recovery and ongoing needs
- how and where to deliver this care
- who should deliver this care
