Across Canada, extraordinary people are working every day to improve mental health. Mental health organizations, philanthropy, policymakers, aligned networks, the healthcare sector, researchers, Indigenous communities, people with lived and living expertise, and private sector and community organizations are all making important contributions.
Yet the challenges continue to grow more complex.
Too often, we’re working alongside one another instead of with one another. We revisit the same conversations, tackle similar problems in different places and miss opportunities to build on what’s already working.
Knowledge stays in one place. Strong ideas struggle to travel. People and communities experience the gaps between systems.
The challenges are shared. The work is often disconnected.
Converge exists to help change that.
We are here to answer any questions that you may have.
