An email to the SSNS received today from the Mental Health Commission of Canada:
It is our pleasure to provide you with a copy of our inaugural Annual Report, documenting the nineteen months since September 2007 when the Commission became operational. This Annual Report shows the extensive progress that has been made towards achieving the mandate that has been set out for the Commission, which is to promote mental health in Canada, to change the attitudes of Canadians toward mental health problems and mental illness, and to work with stakeholders to improve mental health services and supports.
We appreciate the support and contributions from many committed organizations and passionate people from across this country participating on boards and committees, in public and online consultations, in working groups and research teams, and in so many other important ways.
Please spread the word; let everyone know that this groundbreaking work is underway. There will be increasing opportunities for Canadians to get involved as the Partners for Mental Health program is launched.
