How to Refer a Patient
The Centre for Mental Health (CMH) has two primary pathways for referring a patient – one for outpatient; one for inpatient.
-
Outpatient Referrals (internal and external)
-
Inpatient Services (internal UHN only)
Eligibility criteria vary by clinic. Please consult specific services by clicking on the links below for guidance. If you are uncertain about the appropriate clinic for your patient, please fill out the referral form and the triage team will review.
