Psychogeriatric disorders

 

A program specialising in skills training to promote independent living and healthy aging

The psychogeriatric unit is staffed by an expert multi-disciplinary team of psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, psychologists and pharmacists. In collaboration with each patient, an individual treatment plan is developed to provide a unique and specialised program.

Treatment plans include individual sessions with psychiatrists and nurses as well as group therapy. The group program is designed to help patients understand the nature of their disorder and to develop effective strategies to manage their disorder and reduce the likelihood of relapse.

The program uses a holistic approach which includes a focus on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being on the journey to recovery.
