#MENTALHEALTH Part 2 with Dr. Heather Sylvester Hashtag Health: A Health and Medical Podcast

Welcome back to Hashtag Health! This is part 2 of our 2-part series on collaborative mental health care. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Heather Sylvester, a Stratford based family physician with additional training (a “plus one”) in mental health. Dr. Sylvester works within a family health team to offer psychiatric services to patients, and she explains today the benefits of this novel approach to the provision of mental health care, notably its ability to combat the backlog of psychiatric patients.
