Collaborative Mental Health Care InitiativeCPA co-chairs the Collaborative Mental Health Consortium, which was formed to improve the links among the many professions that deliver mental health care and to improve the coordination between mental health and primary care. It includes consumers, families and caregivers, dietitians, family physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. The Consortium received a significant 3-year grant from Health Canada for the Canadian Collaborative Mental Health Care Initiative (CCMHI) which ended May 2006.CCMHI has produced a series of papers that document the state of collaborative mental health care in Canada; a Charter intended to be a living document to guide organizations in their collaborative mental health care work; and tools to help providers, educators, consumers, families, and caregivers establish and participate in a collaborative care network in their community. This is an outgrowth of the work begun by the Joint CPA-College of Family Physicians of Canada Shared Care Working Group to improve collaboration between psychiatrists and family physicians.
