Speaking Notes for The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health: Canadian Mental Health Association 2nd Annual Mental Health for All Conference

Canadian Mental Health Association 2nd Annual Mental Health for All Conference “It Takes a Nation”

September 18, 2017
Toronto, Ontario

Today, I would like to focus on three themes:

1. Discuss the state of mental health in Canada, both nationally and, more particularly, in Indigenous communities.
2. Share what the Government of Canada is doing to help Canadians access mental health supports and to address social inequities that influence health.
3. Call upon all of us to help end the stigma of mental illness, which prevents many from seeking help.
