Integrating the social determinants of health into care, research and education - CAMH

Every CAMH client is involved in developing an individual plan of care, with goals related to work, housing, income and relationships. These factors are known as the social determinants of health, and they are as central as goals directly related to clients’ mental health or addiction issues. Through the work of our Community Support and Research Unit (CSRU), CAMH promotes a holistic, rather than a medical, view of health to address these broad client needs. Encouraging family involvement, respecting diversity and building clients’ strengths are all part of our focus on recovery, health and well-being. This is the CAMH Annual Report to the Community 2006-2007.
