The Montfort Hospital has a centre where active members of the Canadian Forces are treated. There are six case managers and six nurses. When a member's case is assigned to them, they get in touch with us directly. When a member whose case is considered complex by National Defence is releasing and the release date is not known, we are invited to take part in a case conference with the psychiatrist, the psychologist and everyone in the department who is involved. We supplement the care team.
We take part until the individual is released. There are excellent hand-offs and the Canadian Forces team at the Montfort is our main partner. We are in touch with the people on that team on a daily basis because we share the same clients. They see that the release is coming and they are concerned. They need Veterans Affairs Canada to take over managing the case.
