Increasing Mental Health Care Access: Delivering Mental Health in an Urgent/Immediate/Emergency Care Setting

Abstract

This study explores the immediate/urgent/emergency care facility, which offers a promising new setting for the provision of mental health care. A number of urgent care facilities have already incorporated mental health services into their practice with positive results. Mental health providers have become vital components of integrated and interdisciplinary teams. The primary objective is to promote and highlight the integration of collaborative mental health resources into these healthcare clinics.
