Company Description ## With over 13'000 collaborators and collaborators representing 160 professions, the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève are a reference institution at the national and international level. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to consult our 2025 retrospective by clicking here. Counting nearly 1'300 collaborators and collaborators, the Department of Psychiatry responds to a triple mission concerning the treatment of mental disorders, training, and research. Thus, the department's mission is to effectively detect and treat increasingly frequent and polymorphic pathologies while respecting patients and their loved ones. The adult psychiatry service deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders in adults and psychiatric disorders beginning in young adults, as part of a public health mission. In the ambulatory and hospital units of the service, multidisciplinary teams offer care integrating biological, psychotherapeutic, and social treatments within a network with external partners. The Adult Psychiatry Service works according to the principles of community psychiatry, which organizes care around the patient in their environment and network. This approach aims to help individuals in care maintain or develop social and/or professional activities in the community. It is also proposed that patients keep a large part of the initiative in their recovery journey. To this end, the therapeutic approach consists mainly of ambulatory, mobile interventions, and day programs. Temporary hospitalization is, however, possible.
