News from the Centre
CAMH's 5th anniversary
March 2003 marks our 5th anniversary. We are planning a year's worth
of celebration, with a kick-off in March, and various activities throughout
the year. When CAMH was created in 1998, no one could have known how significant
this merger would be. Every day, we find new ways to make care, research,
health promotion and education stronger through enhanced integration,
partnerships and knowledge sharing, within CAMH and with hundreds of agencies
and community providers throughout Ontario. To find out more about our
5th Anniversary celebrations, contact Deborah Etsten in our Public Affairs
department at (416)535-8501, ext. 4472.

Awareness campaign for French-speaking ethnoracial communities
In November, the Honourable Lincoln Alexander, chair of the Canadian
Race Relations Foundation, was our guest of honour at the launch of the
Health Promotion and Prevention Action Plan for French-speaking communities.
In partnership with representatives from the target communities, the
Health Promotion and Prevention Action Plan was developed to help increase
awareness of mental health and addiction issues within ethnoracial/ethnocultural
Francophone communities in Ontario, and to improve access for these communities
to existing services. In response to the identified needs, one aspect
of the plan was the development of a series of Public Service Announcements
(PSAs) that are currently airing in the French media. This campaign is
part of our broader "There is Help ... There is Hope" public
education efforts.
To learn more about the project, please contact Antoine Derose at (416)
535-8501, ext. 6904.
