Advocacy and government relations
On behalf of our members, AMHO advocates for a more comprehensive and connected mental health and addictions system, and ultimately the well-being of all Ontarians. AMHO acts as the collective voice of our members and the individuals they serve by participating on various policy and planning committees, as well as through engagement with elected officials (eg. MPPs), Ontario Health, Ministry officials, media and other health sector partners.

A holistic approach
AMHO represents both the addiction and mental health sectors, and we work closely with primary care, community support services, justice and other sectors to bring a comprehensive approach to all the work we do.

Policy, service development and quality improvement work
AMHO actively engages with government and sector partners to help shape and form policy direction, based on member input and expertise. We also incorporate the views of persons with lived and living experiences in our work. AMHO offers policy expertise to strengthen our members' capacity to use evidence and data and improve service quality.
