Frequently Asked Questions
If you are in crisis phone 1.866.299.7447 to speak to a Canadian Mental Health Crisis Worker or go to the Emergency Department (ED) at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (located at both the Chatham and Wallaceburg sites). You will be seen by an ED nurse and/or physician, and if you have a mental health problem, a psychiatric assessment nurse (PAN) will be called to meet you in the ED.
The PAN will make an assessment to help determine if a hospital admission is necessary or if follow up can be arranged, for community intervention with the most appropriate community agency. The PAN can also assist with linkages to other community agencies.
