CMHA Report: The State of Mental Health in Canada
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has released a report, The State of Mental Health in Canada 2024, which uses data from across the country to provide a detailed look at the landscape of mental health, addictions, and substance use health care in Canada.
Some highlights:
Mental health care is grossly underfunded, and mental health is often a privilege available only to those who can afford it.
Access to care depends on where you live and Indigenous and racialized people face the greatest barriers to care.
Data about mental health in Canada is severely lacking.
