E-learning at CAMH
CAMH is a leader, not only in research and care, but also in innovative education and professional development programs related
to mental health and substance abuse. Since its launch in September, the Education and Health Promotion's (EHP) e-learning
online courses have proven to be a valuable addition to the educational opportunities offered at CAMH.
Keeping Privacy on track with online training
Recently, there have been changes to the rules about privacy and how Ontario's health sector can collect, use, keep, make
known and destroy the Personal Health Information (PHI) of its clients/patients. Along with the introduction of the new legislation,
organizations were responsible for ensuring that their staff understood the new Act and that they were in compliance with
PHIPA.
Anything can Happen: Nominate someone you admire for a Courage to Come Back Award
Each year, the CAMH Foundation honours extraordinary people who have overcome the challenges of addiction and/or mental illness
and now use their experience to help others. Award recipients will be recognized at the 12th annual Courage to Come Back Awards
Dinner, presented by RBC Capital Markets on May 25th. Proceeds benefit the important work carried out at CAMH. (Nominations
for the 2005 Courage Awards have now closed).
