Mental Health Services at Yukon Hospitals are being re-developed through the creation of a new Mental Wellness Unit which will provide a more appropriate space and programming conducive to healing and wellness. This new unit will be defined as a short-term psychiatric unit offering services to all patients admitted to Whitehorse General Hospital with a primary mental health diagnosis with an anticipated length of stay of less than 30 days. These patients will be in the acute phase of their psychiatric illness and otherwise medically stable. Patients will receive interdisciplinary assessment, intervention, and discharge planning. The physical changes made to the new unit will also create opportunity for new programs/therapy through the use of the common spaces for leisure and meals, exercise space, patient laundry and kitchen, and outdoor space.
