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.
