The Mobile Treatment and Support Team (MTST) is a specialty transitional service that provides ongoing assessment and treatment for individuals who have recently been discharged from the hospital until appropriate community resources are located that provide the level of ongoing support required. MTST is able to meet with individuals in the office or in the community, as required based on the needs of each individual and the impact of their illness. MTST also supports individuals who may be ordered for treatment by the Ontario Review Board and require follow-up in the community.

Following acceptance to the MTST program, a team member will contact the client directly to begin services. The MTST team consists of psychiatrists, nurses, occupational therapists, and social workers. The main goal of involvement with MTST is to maintain health and wellness, promote community reintegration, and minimize the likelihood of rehospitalization. Access to other care providers is available as needed, including dietitians, spiritual care providers and pharmacists.

Referrals to MTST must be completed by a Physician from a tertiary mental health inpatient unit using the Waypoint Referral Form. Completed referral forms need to be submitted to Waypoint’s Central Intake department. For more information regarding referrals, please visit the Referrals at Waypoint information page or contact Central Intake at 705-549-3181 ext. 2308.
