How can ASOs work with different community-based organizations to better serve clients with depression?
Partnering with other community organizations, such as local branches of the Canadian Mental Health Association, hospitals and community care clinics, builds a support network for ASOs. For example, ASOs can identify community health services, psychiatrists, psychologists and physicians who are willing to take referrals of clients with signs of severe depression, or to provide advice to ASO staff. Mental health professionals can give workshops for ASO staff on identifying and managing depression. ASOs can give workshops for mental health professionals on HIV and the complex issues faced by PHAs.
