This guide is designed to help mental health and addictions organizations create safer and more inclusive spaces for trans staff, volunteers, service users, and community members people. It includes current terminology and pronouns, consideration of overlapping identities, and tips for the use of gender-inclusive language (language that doesn’t discriminate against a particular gender or gender identity).
 

We are recruiting participants for a 90-minute virtual focus group! We are recruiting folks to share their perspectives on the collection of health equity data (i.e., race, gender, age, etc) and the visualization of this data in a data dashboard.

Eligible participants include those who are over the age of 18, reside in Canada, and identify as as person with lived or living experience of a mental health or substance use disorder. Please see the attached poster for additional study details.

About the webinar:

The Provincial Support System Program (PSSP) invites you to join us on Monday, March 13, for a two-part special event that engages the expertise of diverse, multi-professional speakers working as clinician scholars, educators, and community leaders across healthcare and health professions education.

CAMH and Black Health Alliance (BHA), in partnership with TAIBU Community Health Centre and CAFCAN, are working on a health equity project to design a culturally safe smoking cessation intervention that is grounded in the voices and lived experiences of diverse Black communities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

In 2021, the Provincial System Support Program (PSSP) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) conducted a survey that showed many users of the Ontario Perception of Care Tool for Mental Health and Addictions (OPOC) feel uncertain about how to use the tool to help assess and address health equity issues in the delivery of service.

We have heard your feedback and have created a new OPOC equity improvement course to help build agency capacity to collect, understand, and use their client experience data for health equity-related service improvement.
