Hello to All;
I wanted to pass on this invite for families to attend an information session detailing what is happening in the Mental Health and Addictions field here in Mississauga Halton LHIN (Local Health Integration Network). In Ontario there are 14 LHIN's all together and they were developed to better meet the health needs of our communities; they engage in research, planning, funding, and integration of service. In the last year or so Mississauga Halton LHIN has developed a Detailed Planning and Action Team to outline barriers that exist within the system and to begin serious discussion about what changes need to be implemented to deal with some of the larger systematic issues. This report, along with additional valuable information was released earlier this year and can be found on the Mississauga Halton LHIN website: http://www.mississaugahaltonlhin.on.ca/home.aspx.
Having the preliminary work done this task group is now organizing 3 community meetings. This is ‘the’ opportunity for community members to find out valuable information regarding the Mental Health and Addiction field here in Mississauga Halton LHIN and relay important family and consumer messages back to the task groups.
If you have the time I encourage all to step out and find out what is happening in our community and to understand that we have a collective group of talented individuals working on improving the system for consumers and families.**That's right families, your voices are being presented on this committee by a family member**
