Mental Health Planning (2019)

The SPCO and the Community Development Framework led a multi-agency planning initiative to develop a framework for collaboration to better support mental well-being in priority neighbourhoods through community development approaches.

Disadvantaged communities are disproportionately impacted by poverty, social isolation & marginalization. Priority neighbourhoods and communities identified an urgent priority to better address mental wellness and mental health.

Over the course of one year, agency partners developed a common agenda, a roadmap and an action plan for enhancing the reach and support for residents along the mental health spectrum (from stress to clinical mental health issues).

This initiative was supported by Innoweave, an initiative of the McConnell Foundation.
