Mental Health & Wellness ecosystems nurture healthy Canadian communities by ensuring the right supports at the right time.
The current approach to Mental Health & Wellness service delivery in Canada is designed as a bi-directional highway leading to the two most expensive solutions: hospitals and the justice system.
A re-imagined Mental Health Highway includes different types of services offered at different price points and services would be grouped together so that individuals would not have to be sent down the highway to re-tell their story.
We believe that a re-imagined Mental Health & Wellness system is one where there are no wait lists and clients are not re-traumatized as information and resources are shared between agencies and systems. There would be multiple access and care points preventing individuals from ending up in society’s most costly interventions.
