Presentations to Mental Health Select Committee
Select Committee on Mental Health and Addictions hears from mental health consumer and family groups
The Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s Select Committee on Mental Health and Addictions heard from a number of mental health consumer and family groups in Southwestern Ontario on the need for a recovery-oriented system of care that would provide seamless service delivery to meet their medical and socio-economic needs. A reformed system of care would include increased funding for consumer-run groups, inclusion of peer support workers in hospital emergency rooms, and improved access and funding for ODSP, housing, employment and training needs. This approach would also involve family members as partners in the decision-making and information gathering aspects of service delivery.
