The Ontario government’s next phase of its mental health strategy was welcomed by the province’s specialty mental health centres: Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (Ontario Shores), The Royal, and Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care.
« The strategy began with an important investment in the early years and is now moving to a more comprehensive focus across the continuum from children to those in late life. We know that prevention and early intervention are critical. Building on this foundation, investing in youth at the critical point of transition to adulthood and ensuring we have the capacity to treat across the continuum will improve the lives of those with mental illness and addictions, » saidCarol Lambie, Waypoint President and CEO.
