Community Mental Health Centre Rîșcani

Centrul Comunitar de Sănătate Mintală Rîșcani at 19 Socoleni Street in the Râșcani district is the district's public mental-health service — one of the five community centres in Chișinău created under the MENSANA reform — part of the Rîșcani Territorial Medical Association and housed in the building of Family Doctors' Centre No. 10, next to the „Neovita” youth centre. Hours are not published; those above are the association's usual ones, and reviews mention that reception effectively starts at nine.

A team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and psychiatric nurses offers consultations, medication, psychosocial interventions, day-centre activities, support groups, home visits and referrals to psychiatric hospitals; psychiatric certificates for driving licences or firearms are also issued here, for a fee. Services are free and confidential for district residents: come with a family-doctor referral or directly, booking by phone according to home address.

Reviews are few and negative: patients complain about waiting over an hour even with an appointment, an „internal schedule” that differs from the announced one, and a phone that is rarely answered.
