Hall-Brooke Expands Focus on Women's Mental Health

Westport Minuteman (Westport, CT): Mental Illness can affect women to a greater extent than men due to various biological and social factors. The Women's Unit will provide exceptional care for women with mental health problems, especially those with mood and anxiety disorders and issues related to abuse. The opening of the Hall-Brooke's Women's Unit will complete a continuum of mental health care with a specific gender focus. The unit joins existing women's mental health services at the newly opened center for outpatient services for the provision of comprehensive mental health care for women. Together, the inpatient and outpatient services will serve women's psychiatric needs on all levels, from hospitalization to outpatient day and partial day programs.
