4. Do I have to have psychotherapy if I’m admitted to CRAN?

No. The psychosocial worker in the health care team is there to offer support if you want it to help you cope both with psychological difficulties and in dealing with housing assistance, food banks, social assistance, tax returns as well as with the Court, the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec [Quebec health insurance board], etc.

You will be expected to see your psychosocial worker from time to time to maintain contact, without it being psychotherapy.

Medication cannot be the answer to all your concerns or difficulties. We believe that by accepting your psychosocial worker’s support, you will be giving yourself the best chances of succeeding.
