Policy and Research


Policy research and analysis is vital to the mission of CMHA Ontario. We provide balanced, knowledgeable analysis and commentary on public issues and provincial policy directions that promote mental health and impact people with mental illness and their families. This includes evidence-based advice to enhance the delivery of community mental health services, increase the responsiveness of the broader health system to mental health needs, and support healthy public policy.


Focus on Research
Moving in the Right Direction: SEEI Final Report

The final report for the Systems Enhancement Evaluation Initiative (SEEI) provides a high level summary of the results of the SEEI, a four-year initiative to evaluate the effects of the $167 million dollar government investment in Ontario's community mental health system. Results show that the new funds have made a significant difference in a variety of ways and that Ontario's community mental health system is moving in the right direction.

SEEI builds on previous community mental health research that provided evidence that community mental health programs are "good investments."
