Reducing Health Disparities Through Collaborative Action between Diverse Communities, Mental Health & Addictions Service Providers
and Policy Makers
Symposium themes:
• How do we initiate, build and sustain equitable partnerships?
• Why do we need equitable partnerships?
• What elements and strategies are required to address the challenges of building equitable partnerships?
In the mental health and addictions services system, creating an accessible, client and family-centred system depends on commitment
and action to build equitable partnerships between and among diverse and marginalized communities and groups, grassroots organizations,
mainstream agencies and funders. The BEP symposium will provide a forum for dialogue among groups that have a stake in the
delivery of culturally competent mental health and addictions and related health care, resulting in not only greater understanding
of but action on building equitable partnerships for health. This will be a dynamic symposium, with a key objective of collectively
crafting recommendations around best practice and governance issues related to equitable partnerships.
This is initiative is a partnership project of CAMH, Sistering, Committee for Accessible AIDS Treatment, CMHA - Toronto Branch,
and the Multicultural Interagency Group of Peel (MIAG).
