Health PEI Mental Health & Addictions Planning

Evolving a provincial model of delivery for community-focused care across Prince Edward Island

Health PEI’s mandate for our team was to create a blueprint for the continuum of care in Mental Health and Addictions, island-wide. Enhanced access to care in rural communities will be complemented by a new innovative health and wellness campus centered on the new Hillsborough Acute Mental Health and Addictions facility in Charlottetown. Cumulus led an international consulting team to evolve a provincial model of Mental Health and Addictions and create a blueprint for community-focused delivery across Prince Edward Island.

Destigmatisation is addressed through planned integration with future allied health and recreational amenities, including extensive waterfront walking trails designed to weave the new facility into the adjacent neighbourhood.

A holistic approach to a resilient net zero ready campus integrates active transport, green infrastructure, and renewable energy while addressing rising sea levels and coastal erosion along the Hillsborough River.
