What are Psychiatric Outpatient Services (POS)?

The outpatient department is an office-based service system that provides comprehensive outpatient treatment for children and adolescents (ages three to 18) with transitional-aged young people (TAY) ranging from 18 to 26. This comprehensive level of care includes but is not limited to:
