Mental Health and Addictions Strategies

Ontario’s Comprehensive Mental Health and Addictions Strategy:
Open Minds, Healthy Minds: Ontario’s Comprehensive Mental Health and Addictions Strategy (Strategy) focuses on children and youth in the first three years (2011-12 to 2013-14), and will create a more integrated and responsive child and youth mental health system through:

  1. Providing children and youth with mental health and addictions needs, and their families, with fast access to high quality services;
  2. Identifying and intervening in child and youth mental health and addictions needs early; and
  3. Closing critical services gaps for vulnerable children and youth, Aboriginal children and youth, those at key transition points, and those in remote communities.
