Reply to "A whole bunch of important questions about continuity of care, whilst in care, from a family member"

I am in tears...THIS is exactly what I am experiencing with my son Adam. No help. No access to care when he desperately needs medical care, an ear, and housing. He is on the streets of Toronto due to trauma caused when my older son was shot by police. Another tragedy of mental health. What is CAMH doing about access?? I am so angry like this sister that the "experts" and "evidence exchange" is not gleening out the one very important thing we all need. ACCESS TO CARE. Until that is worked on and is available to one suffering with brain illness (my words to prompt change in "mental") we are not further ahead than in the 1980's.

I brought this up at our last meeting of People with Lived Experience Panel at CAMH. Nobody could answer my question of "what has changed in 30 years regarding access to care??" Anyone??
