The Access and Assessment Centre (AAC) is here to help you, your family member or your friend during a non-life threatening mental health and/or substance use issue.

The Access and Assessment Centre (AAC) helps individuals and families access mental health and substance use services in Vancouver. The AAC is located in the Joseph & Rosalie Segal & Family Health Centre at Vancouver General Hospital. Services include referral intake, on-site assessment, crisis intervention, and short-term treatment.

The goal is to match a person’s needs to the right services and resources at the right time. We strive to provide low-barrier access to client-centred care and support.

Call or walk in to initiate your care through the AAC. Intake will begin with a screening and assessment conducted by an AAC clinician (nurse, social worker or MHSU clinician). The clinician will then determine the appropriate care pathway in collaboration with the client and caregivers. This applies to any client contacting AAC as a walk-in or by phone. Most people do not see a psychiatrist on their first visit to the clinic unless the client requires urgent intervention and is likely in need of hospitalization. The wait times for walk-in clients can be highly variable and unpredictable.

Translation services are available at AAC as needed. Translators are available either in person, virtually, or by phone.
