Abstract

A Canadian university is experiencing increasing difficulty in accessing appropriate clinical experiences for undergraduate psychiatric nursing students. Meanwhile, many nursing faculty are experiencing an increased desire for clinical practice opportunities. Concurrently a gap in mental health service delivery exists for those residents who experience severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI). This paper proposes a solution through establishment of a mental health promotion clinic as a mechanism for managing issues concerning clinical site availability, faculty clinical practice, and mental health service provision for persons experiencing SPMI.
