Coordination consent

Referral workflow

What happens after a patient enters the pathway

The process is designed to avoid assuming that every referral needs the same DBT service.

1. Patient intake

The patient completes secure screening, consent, history, goals, and practical information. A referral can supplement but does not replace patient participation.

2. Clinical review

A clinician reviews risk, diagnosis questions, functioning, treatment history, current supports, and likely program fit.

3. Recommendation

The patient receives a recommendation that fits your needs and any additional assessment, funding, or coordination steps.

4. Treatment and review

Care begins with explicit targets and review points. Coordination occurs with consent when clinically useful.
Communication and coordination

Clear boundaries protect both access and clinical safety

Medical fax

Use the clinic medical fax for professional records and referral documentation: (306) 900-6700.

General clinical contact

Call (306) 518-8701 or email [email protected] for administrative or referral questions. Do not use email for emergencies.

Urgent concerns

DBT Saskatchewan is not an emergency service. Immediate danger requires 911 or the nearest emergency department.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions you may have

Yes. Patients can complete the secure intake directly, and professional referral information can be added when available.

Length depends on the pathway. A full skills cycle is 24 weeks; comprehensive treatment may require longer sustained participation.

Yes, with patient consent and when coordination is clinically indicated.

No. Urgent and emergency concerns require local crisis, medical, or emergency services.

NIHB may be available when client, provider, service, and authorization requirements are met; some group or skills-training formats may be excluded. Current Métis Nation–Saskatchewan funding should be confirmed directly. Private-insurance reimbursement is plan-specific.

The clinic communicates the fit concern and recommends another assessment, service, clinician, or level of care where possible.

A practical next step

Refer a patient or invite them to begin a clinician-reviewed intake.

The intake and referral information can be reviewed together to identify the safest and most useful starting point.
