Visiting the Brockville Mental Health Centre
Support from family and friends is an important part of the recovery process and as such we encourage clients to invite loved ones to visit.
For the safety and security of our clients and staff – and to ensure space is available – all visitors to the FTU must contact the unit 24 hours prior to the visit. Visiting times vary by unit, so please discuss timing with staff.
Visits to the STU may be open in a visiting room or closed through glass with use of a telephone. All visits to the STU must be arranged and approved through the Ministry of the Solicitor General (613-341-2870 ext. 1100).
