Current Issues in Addictions and Mental Health (Canada)
"Advice from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) directed to all levels of government and all political parties about how to address the needs of people with mental illness and addictions. Reforming health care funding and delivery in Canada is high on the public and political agenda. Unfortunately, mental illness and addictions remain largely absent from these debates despite the fact that twenty percent of Canadians in any given year suffer from a broad range of mental illness or addiction, and 3% suffer profound and persistent disablement."
