Community Care | Community-based organizations, agencies or non-profits that provide programming to support health and its social determinants. |
Primary Care | First point of contact with the health care system; includes interacting with a family doctor and nurse practitioner. |
Secondary Care | More specialized care from health care providers that have a specialty focus in a particular health area (e.g. oncologist, endocrinologist). Access to specialist care requires a referral from primary care. |
Tertiary Care | Highly specialized care provided in a hospital or dedicated care facility to support with very severe or life-threatening health conditions. Access to tertiary care requires a referral from primary or secondary care. |
Referral | When a provider formally directs a patient to another provider or program to support with their care. |
Self-Referral | When an individual self-directs themselves to a provider or program |
Social Determinants of Health | Non-medical factors that can positively or negatively influence your health (e.g., living or working conditions, social supports, income, employment or educational opportunities, etc.). |
Self-Care | Self-care is when we do things that maintain our physical and mental health. It is a tool to manage stress, lower risk of illness, and increase energy. |
The below diagram provides an overview of the mental health system. The bottom tiers have more services and are needed more often than the more specialized services in the top tiers.
