Forensic Regional Services

The Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission ensures clients throughout British Columbia are supported appropriately with consistent high quality mental health programs. In addition to the services provided at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, services are provided on an outpatient basis through regional programs coordinated by six community clinics in Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Prince George, Kamloops and Surrey.

These clinics are responsible for the supervision and monitoring of persons found Not Criminally Responsible on Account of Mental Disorder (NCR-MDs) who are living in the community, and any persons who are found Unfit to Stand Trial, but have been granted a conditional discharge by the British Columbia Review Board. This includes monitoring the client's progress in treatment and ensuring that the client is adhering to the conditions set out in the Disposition Order provided by the BC Review Board.

The clinics also conduct assessments that are ordered by the provincial courts of British Columbia (fitness to stand trial, NCR-MD, pre-sentence, and mental status). They also provide assessment and treatment services for offenders on bail and probation/parole.

These services are coordinated through six community clinics covering three geographic regions:
