Hosted by eMHIC and the Mental Health Commission of Canada
This match will explore the learnings from international developments in the adoption of eMental Health (eMH) solutions Post-Pandemic across the IIMHL/IIDL member countries. We know, that if implemented well, eMH solutions can empower individuals to be active participants in their own care, while providing service providers the tools for enhanced care alongside the usual mental health care provision. eMH can remove barriers and bring services to excluded communities and can ensure people living with mental health problems or illnesses access the help they need when and where they need it. This match will also explore issues such as sporadic funding, lack of eMH standards, strategy, frameworks and successes and challenges from each country, jurisdictions and organisation.
eMHIC is a group of global leaders and subject matter experts, collaborating and sharing knowledge on all topics related to eMental health and addiction, to support and improve mental health and addiction outcomes for all populations. eMHIC’s mission is to support collaboration and knowledge exchange as well as a single international point of reference for key eMental health leaders and associated sectors who can improve and support the conditions for mental health and addiction.
The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) leads the development and dissemination of innovative programs and tools to support the mental health and wellness of Canadians. Through its unique mandate from the Government of Canada, the MHCC supports federal, provincial, and territorial governments as well as organizations in the implementation of sound public policy.
