Mental Health and Addictions Program Youth Wellness Clinic St Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton

As a premier academic and research healthcare organization, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) is committed to making a difference in people’s lives and in our community through integrated health services and internationally recognized programs. Our threefold mission is to provide dynamic research, revolutionary methods in health sciences education, and the highest standard of clinical care in a spirit of compassion, innovation and commitment.

SJHH is a member of the St. Joseph’s Health System (SJHS), and is affiliated with McMaster University. SJHH has earned a national reputation for outstanding patient care and innovative medical and surgical treatments. The Hospital is particularly well known for excellence in respiratory care, kidney and urinary care, mental health and addictions, surgical services, cancer surgery and women’s and infants’ care.

St Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton is seeking psychiatrists with an interest in working with young adults from the age of 17 years to 25 years to join the Youth Wellness Clinic (YWC) at St. Joseph’s Healthcare. The YWC provides care for young adults experiencing mental health and addictions issues, such as mood and anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and emotion regulation difficulties.

The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary team, composed of experienced psychologists, registered nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, and peer support workers. This is a part time opportunity. A background in psychotherapy would be an asset and we are seeking a psychiatrist with an interest in education and/or the development of research services. Current research initiatives include youth mental health outcomes, AI use for mental health support, and intervention adaptation (e.g., positive affect therapy).

The successful candidate will hold a valid College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario license and be a trained psychiatrist with FRCPC or equivalent. This appointment entails an academic appointment with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, McMaster University.
