Client / Family Support

The MHCP- Patient/Consumer & Family Council (PCFC) was established in 1994 in response to the growing need to have patients involved in their treatment and in the policies of the Mental Health Centre Penetanguishene (MHCP) which directly affected their care.

In June 2004, the PCFC became a legally incorporated body and subsequently has changed its name to the Patient/Client and Family Council.

The Council has a Board of Directors which is comprised of seven former clients and family members who have had personal experience with the mental health system and know what it is like to live each day with a mental illness.
