Community Geographic Team Resources - Mental Health

Provides Forensic Mental Health services to individuals mandated by the courts.

Community Geographic Teams (CGT) provide direct and indirect services to people who have trouble accessing assessment and treatment services because of distance, transportation, or no local forensic mental health provider. Services are provided:

  • to rural areas
  • regional centres
  • First Nation communities in Southern Alberta

Services are delivered face to face in person, or can be delieverd virtually as determined by clinical need.
Forensic mental health services are provided to provincially mandated clients via satellite clinics located in Red Deer, Lethbridge, Calgary Rural and Medicine Hat. And by travelling clinics throughout rural Southern Alberta and Treaty Seven First Nation Communities.

Service Access

Healthcare providers should consult the Alberta Referral Directory for service referral information.

Referral is by a court order for pre-trial and pre-sentence assessments.

Treatment referrals are for mandated indivuals and are accepted from community corrections (Probation)

Please make the reason for referral clear and, where available, include all background information (e.g., details of the offence, police reports, court transcripts, and criminal record of the accused).

When probation officers or other agencies are making a referral, where possible, the standard FAOS referral form should be used. Again, please send background information (e.g., PSR, PDR, PIS, PO) and make the reason for the referral clear.
