Social Workers at the Timmins Family Health Team (TFHT) have considerable education and specialized training in the area of mental health, and other important aspects of well-being. With several years of experience, and as part of a multi-disciplinary team, the Social workers at the TFHT play an integral part in assisting in the improvement of patient mental health and social well-being.
Our Social Workers are educated and trained in mental health to deal with a wide range of issues. Services are offered in both official languages to individual patients of the TFHT. You can access short-term therapy by being referred from one of our Primary Care Providers.
