Drs Randi Mccabe And Caitlin Davey Head Anxiety And Depression Portfolios With Dr Davey Focusing On Indigenous Mental Health
More Ontarians than ever are experiencing anxiety and depression. These increasing rates have led to long wait lists for treatment and a need for a provincial plan to get people the help they need.
Ontario Healths Mental Health and Addictions Centre of Excellence is working toward a comprehensive and connected mental health and addictions system to address these issues. To do that, Ontario Health has named five Provincial Clinical Leads to provide expert advice and visionary leadership. Two of those five leads are St. Joes own mental health experts.
Dr. Caitlin Davey, Clinical Psychologist at St. Joes Youth Wellness Centre and Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University will manage the Indigenous, Depression & Anxiety-Related Disorders portfolio. Dr. Randi McCabe, Clinical Director of St. Joes Anxiety Treatment and Research department and Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University will lead the Depression and Anxiety Related Disorders portfolio.
St. Josephs Healthcare Hamilton is the largest mental health care provider in the Hamilton region, and second largest mental health provider in the province, and is a leader in innovation, patient care and research. These two psychologists are bringing their passion and expertise to the provincial arena to create a more accessible mental health system.

Night At The Glore Psychiatric Museumst Joseph Missourisee Next Available Dates Below: : 00 Pm
American Hauntings will be taking a very limited number of ghost hunters behind the locked doors of the museum and former asylum hospital for a night in search of it’s haunted past! Over the years, many people have described strange and unexplainable experiences with the lingering ghosts and this is your chance to see if it’s really as haunted as so many people claim!
Don’t miss your chance to visit the famous Glore Psychiatric Museum, which chronicles the more than 130-year history of what was once “State Lunatic Asylum No. 2.” The first part of the evening will be a tour of the museum and a look at the history of Missouri’s state asylums — then we’ll be shutting down the lights until 2:00 AM for a ghost hunt of this chilling site!
The asylum opened in November 1874 with 25 patients. Dr. George C. Catlett was the hospital’s first superintendent. Demand caused rapid growth. The original 275 beds filled quickly. An additional 120 beds were added, and then another 350. Relatives who could no longer provide for their family members’ special needs admitted most patients. A devastating fire in 1879 only temporarily slowed that growth. When the hospital reopened in 1880, it became a sanctuary not only for the mentally ill, but also for tuberculosis patients, syphilitic patients, alcoholic patients, and patients with physical disabilities.

St. Joseph Center provides a range of mental health services to support housing stability, especially for formerly chronically homeless individuals.
