An activity worker is on shift from 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and the unit also employs a half time social worker. Fortunately though, Zorn says psychiatric unit staff have an excellent working relationship with Terrace RCMP, who are called in to help restrain particularly violent patients, “Sometimes just having them there with their uniforms on will help diffuse the situation,” said Zorn. When the Mounties pick up someone who they feel may need psychialric attention, they stay at the hospital until a doctor has examined that person, If that’s not determined in the examination, the person is let go. ‘In order for a person to be admilted they have to be a danger to themselves or others or bave a diagnosed trealable mental illness,’’ says Zorn. It’s not uncommon for mentally ill patients to have very lucid moments and if that’s happening at the time of the exam, it’s legally impossible to hold them against their will. . * Young people get help YOUNG PEOPLE in Terrace will scon have a chance to present the provincial government with a wish list.
