Breaking down barriers and improving outcomes: Towards an integrated and inclusive patient and family-centered mental health research and innovation strategy
Faire tomber les barrières et améliorer les résultats : vers une stratégie intégrée et inclusive de recherche et d’innovation en santé mentale axée sur le patient et la famille

Today, one in four Canadian adults demonstrate symptoms of depression, anxiety or PTSD, up from one in five in 2020. In Canada, an average of more than 10 people die by suicide a day. 1.2M children are affected by mental illness, with suicide being the second leading cause of death; an issue that is particularly acute among Indigenous communities. The panel on mental health research and innovation will bring together leading experts and decision makers in an interactive discussion on the state of mental health research funding and emerging trends to improve outcomes for people living with mental illness.

Aujourd'hui, un adulte canadien sur quatre présente des symptômes de dépression, d'anxiété ou de TSPT, contre un sur cinq en 2020. Au Canada, plus de 10 personnes en moyenne meurent par suicide chaque jour. 1,2 million d'enfants sont touchés par la maladie mentale, le suicide étant la deuxième cause de décès ; ce problème est particulièrement aigu dans les communautés autochtones. Le panel sur la recherche et l'innovation en matière de santé mentale réunira des experts et des décideurs de premier plan dans le cadre d'une discussion interactive sur l'état du financement de la recherche en santé mentale et les nouvelles tendances visant à améliorer les résultats pour les personnes atteintes de maladie mentale.
