"Best Practice"

Region 2 Mental Health Services offers a wide range of mental health programs and services based on ‘best practice’. We believe that people affected by mental health problems have the right to an optimal quality of life in their physical and material well being, their relationship with relatives and communities, and their self-fulfillment.

The people we serve are the central focus of any service and support; they are actively involved in all facets of service provision – assessment, planning, and delivery. We also focus on nurturing powerful and effective partnerships with agencies, organizations, communities and educational facilities in order to deliver a wide range of mental health services and wellness initiatives throughout southwestern New Brunswick.
