Report on Mental Illness in Canada
This report (noted here last Thursday) is now available online at the Canadian Mental Health Association's web site. The report is "designed to raise the profile of mental illness among government and non-government organizations, and the industry, education, workplace, and academic sectors. It describes major mental illnesses and outlines their incidence and prevalence, causation, impact, stigma, and prevention and treatment. Policy makers will find the information contained in this report valuable for shaping policies and services aimed at improving the quality of life of people with mental illness." The full report, a summary and the 10 individual chapters are all available from this page in Adobe Acrobat format.
