CONSULTATION FEEDBACK

 

Throughout spring and summer 2005, the CCMHI consulted stakeholders from across the country to develop a Charter for Collaborative Mental Health Care for Canada.

The goal was to develop a Charter that reflects the wisdom, experience and aspirations of consumers, family members, caregivers, primary health care and mental health care providers, policy makers, funders and educators -- those who have knowledge of the current system and a sense of how mental health services can be strengthened.

Through the use of focus groups, discussion forums, meetings, surveys and presentations, a broad range of stakeholders were asked what they thought of a draft set of Principles which constitutes good collaborative mental health care and Commitments that need to be made to ensure the principles prevail.
