DUAL DIAGNOSIS

• The Ministry of Community and Social Services funds a residential case management program for those individuals who live with a dual diagnosis.
  The term dual diagnosis is used when an individual has been labeled "developmentally handicapped," as well as having experienced a mental health problem. The purpose of the program is to ensure that those individuals who do live with a dual diagnosis receive the ongoing support that they require. Individuals live within 24 hour staffed settings, family home environments or within their own apartment. Each person supported has a community support worker who will assist them with developing and attaining their personal goals and to ensure that they maintain good mental health.
