Do our part to create a healthy and just Canadian society by addressing health disparities and ensuring mental and physical health outcomes are equitable for people living with mental illness.
We will:
- Be transparent and resolute in addressing health disparities that people from structurally marginalized groups face.
- Address the prejudice, discrimination and disparities that people who live with serious mental illness experience.
- Ensure at CAMH that we are equitable, diverse, inclusive, accessible and anti-racist.
- Expand services focused on First Nations, Inuit and Métis health through Shkaabe Makwa, and deepen our organizational commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.
- Prioritize the health of Black patients and families through partnerships with the Black community, expanded access to culturally responsive care and increased research.
- Invest in research, education, clinical care and action to respond to the compelling evidence that climate change impacts the developing brain and the mental health of people around the world.
- Amplify the voices of the mental health movement to create public policy that reduces health disparities and improves social determinants of health for everyone.
