Mission, Vision, and Strategic Planning | Psychiatry | School of Medicine

The Dept of psychiatry at the Queen's Mission is in our professional identity and function. Psychiatry is the science, the study, the prevention, and the management of mental disorders, providing comprehensive care that is responsive to community needs. We instill hope and reduce the burden of mental illness on the patients and the communities we serve.

Our vision is to be recognized, visible, accessible, equitable, efficient, and timely in our care, research and education. We build capacity for our profession and support our communities to achieve optimal mental health through providing quality care exceeding standards. We provide psychiatric care without walls, without barriers, and without restrictions.

Our values are the Queen’s values including responsibility to provide equitable care, education, and research to our people and our community. We stand for truth and integrity, we support well-being for our people, community and the planet, we extend respect, collegiality, and generosity to each other, patients and community. We balance our academic freedom with our responsibilities.
