The Centre for Adult Psychiatry (CAP) is a 25-bed facility designated under the Mental Health Act of Manitoba.

The Centre delivers acute, comprehensive services to adults between the ages of 18-64, who are experiencing a psychiatric illness (DSM IV diagnosis) and/or severe psychosocial crisis.

CAP primarily services the Regional Health Authorities
of Brandon and Assiniboine.

The Centre functions under the jurisdiction of the Brandon Regional Health Authority and is located at the Brandon Regional Health Centre (adjacent to the Assiniboine Centre on Russell Street).

Additional notes:

Treating psychiatrists at CAP are generally assigned on a rotating basis. The treating psychiatrist may not necessarily be the same psychiatrist who admits the patient. If a patient is currently treated by a private psychiatrist in the community, the private psychiatrist may choose to transfer in-patient care to another psychiatrist.
Non-urgent admissions can be pre-arranged. Pre-admission tours of the Centre can be provided on request.
Length of stay will vary with each individual but the average stay is approximately 16 days.
We encourage on-going participation/input by family, family physicians, and appropriate community agencies while a person is a patient at CAP.
