Mental Health Services
The main providers of mental health services for CF Members are located within CF Health Services.
In many incidents the first point of contact for many CF members who are experiencing mental health difficulties is their primary care physician at their local CF Medical Clinic. This individual will either provide the required assistance or refer the member to the most appropriate resource. In the case of an emergency, a member can access a physician during daily sick parade.
After hours members are advised to contact their local hospital emergency department.
Within CF Health Services there are specialized mental health services. These services operate at two levels. The primary or first level of service is referred to as the Psychosocial Program. The second level is referred to as Mental Health Programs.
