Mental Health Reform for Canada in the 21st Century: Getting There from Here

Author

  • Michael Kirby

Abstract

About one in five Canadians will experience a mental illness during their lifetime. The obstacles to be overcome are well understood: stigmatization and discrimination; the complex labyrinth of existing services that comprise our current non-system; the existence of different silos that inhibit integration into a true continuum of care; and the absence of a national plan for mental illness and addiction. The committee aspires to the creation of a truly consumer-centred, recovery-focused system with access to personalized care. We need now to craft the right mix of institutional and personal incentives to encourage people to alter their behaviour.
