Overview
Community Psychiatry at Pantang Hospital focuses on providing mental health services to individuals and communities, ensuring that care is accessible, effective, and integrated into the fabric of daily life. Our team of dedicated professionals works to promote mental well-being, prevent mental health crises, and offer support in the most inclusive and compassionate way possible. We understand that mental health is an essential part of overall health, and our approach is community-centered to reflect that.
What is Community Psychiatry?
Community psychiatry is a branch of mental health care that takes place outside of hospital settings, focusing on community-based services. The goal is to provide people with the support they need in their homes and communities, rather than in hospitals. This reduces the stigma associated with mental illness and encourages a more holistic approach to care.
At Pantang Hospital, we collaborate with families, local organizations, and other healthcare providers to ensure that individuals receive the mental health services they need, when they need them.
