Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office

The Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office provides on-site advocacy, rights advice and education services to all Waypoint patients. They are independent of the hospital and their services are confidential.
 

Patient Advocate

The patient advocate works with patients to resolve problems relating to legal, therapeutic and social issues and assist with any complaint relating to quality of care and quality of life issues including any restriction such as seclusion or restraint. They may also assist in obtaining a lawyer or completing a Legal Aid application form. Patients who are here under the Ontario Review Board may want to have a lawyer for their hearing.
