Reducing Health Disparities Through Collaborative Action between Diverse Communities, Mental Health & Addictions Service Providers and Policy Makers

In the mental health and addictions services system, creating an accessible, client and family-centred system depends on commitment and action to build equitable partnerships between and among diverse and marginalized communities and groups, grassroots organizations, mainstream agencies and funders. This symposium will provide a forum for dialogue among groups that have a stake in the delivery of culturally competent mental health and addictions and related health care, resulting in not only greater understanding of but action on building equitable partnerships for health. This will be a dynamic symposium, with a key objective of collectively crafting recommendations around best practice and governance issues related to equitable partnerships.
