GBGH’s new state-of-the-art
mental health care wing will
provide:
16 acute beds
• This kind of bed is for a patient experiencing an acute
episodic mental health situation.
• Examples of episodic situations may include severe anxiety,
depression, schizophrenia, self-harm behaviours, they may
not be taking their medications, etc.
• The patient would be triaged and assessed and supported
throughout the episode with appropriate care and follow
up care, until they are able to be discharged and supported
through outpatient care as they integrate back into their
lives and the community.
