Family Guide to Mental Health

Advocacy Toolkit

Professor Charmaine Williams and The Family Caregiving Project have launched a number of resources to educate students, healthcare providers, and community members about family caregiving and its importance to mental health.

Join us in advocating for an equitable healthcare system that supports whole families affected by mental illness!

What do we mean when we talk about supporting whole families? Check out this interview with Professor Williams to hear more.

We encourage you to contact the Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, the Minister of Health, and your Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) to advocate for a more equitable healthcare system that supports whole families affected by mental illness.
