Welcome to the Mental Health Commission of Canada website.
The Mental Health Commission of Canada is a non-profit organization created to focus national attention on mental health issues and to work to improve the health and social outcomes of people living with mental illness.
The Commission, while funded by the Government of Canada, is a national body, not a federal one. It has been endorsed by all levels of government, although the Commission operates at arm's length from them.
The Commission is currently working on five key initiatives:
- A mental health strategy
- An anti-stigma Initiative
- Homelessness research demonstration projects
- A knowledge exchange centre
- The Partners for Mental Health Program
