Mental Health is Health—or is it?
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused or hopeless because of the way mental health is viewed and treated—you’re not alone.
Decades of underfunding in mental health research has contributed to a growing mental health crisis.
Lack of understanding, lack of advocacy, and lack of investment have fostered a culture of silence and shame around mental illness in Canada. This has left us with fewer effective treatment options for the 6.7 million Canadians who live with mental illness and addiction every year.
Mental health research is saving lives today
We can do more to face the mental health crisis in Canada head-on—it is at the very heart of what the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is doing every day.
Mental health research can transform stigma into understanding and hope. CAMH is tackling the barriers to care fueled by stigma by building hope for those living with mental illness through our life-saving discoveries. To name a few:
Every breakthrough has the power to reduce stigma and change mental health care forever—by leading to faster diagnoses, more effective treatments and shorter recovery times.
Join the mental health movement
We need a strong, unified response to the mental health crisis. As a world leader in the mental health movement, CAMH needs your help to take on this crisis until there is no one left behind.
By taking action, you’ll be joining thousands of Canadians in sending a clear message that we can—and must—create a world where treatments are more effective and care is more accessible for our friends, family, coworkers, neighbours and community members.
