MONTREAL, Oct. 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) and the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) will officially launch the Best Advice guide: Recovery-Oriented Mental Health and Addiction Care in the Patient's Medical Home at the Canadian Mental Health Association's 3rd annual Mental Health for All (MH4A) Conference.
Developed in consultation with family physicians, mental health experts and people with lived experience, the guide offers a compendium of practical and easy-to-implement strategies and recommendations. It includes simple yet powerful tips for health care providers on how to open the door to important conversations on mental health and addiction issues — from using non-stigmatizing language and displaying signage in support of mental wellness to incorporating at least one question per visit that elicits a response about emotional health.
