Ontario’s Mental Health & Addictions Leadership Advisory Council (the Council) has released their Final Report with five key recommendations.
The Council was established in 2014 to provide the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care with strategic advice to fulfill the vision outlined in Open Minds Healthy Minds, the government’s ten year strategy to build a comprehensive mental health and addictions system in Ontario.

- MOHLTC take action towards enhanced governance, equitable access to services, and youth policy reform for system transformation.
- MOHLTC ensure that policies, programs and practices be developed and implemented in alignment with key guiding principles for system excellence.
