Role and Facility Information
Richmond is a diverse ‘young’ city thriving with families in all stages of life. It is located just south of Vancouver, BC. Richmond Early Childhood Mental Health Program (RECMHP) is located in the Child Health Centre of Richmond Hospital. It is co-located with Pediatrics and Maternity. RECMHP is a community-based public mental health service for children 0 to 6 years of age with significant emotional and/or behavioural problems. Assessments and evidence-informed largely psychotherapeutic treatments are provided to children in conjunction with their families. A good knowledge of child relational/developmental/psycho therapeutic theory and practice is essential. Prescription and monitoring of medications may be provided as needed. Each clinician assesses and treats children on their caseload and may consult other team members as indicated. Collaboration with other community service providers is essential. RECHMP team members function together as a “Working Group”, with an expectancy to collaborate reflectively.
RECMHP is closely linked to the UBC Faculty of Medicine, and innovates and collaborates in educational and research projects.
The psychiatrists may also be involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of new programs and will participate in the training and education of medical students, residents and other allied health professionals. Opportunities may exist for research projects and group work.
All physicians working in the Richmond Department of Psychiatry are required to participate in the on-call roster.
