Leading change to revolutionize the addictions and mental health care experience AMHO represents over addictions and mental health organizations in Ontario, Canada. Our members span the full continuum of addiction and mental health organizations and services, ranging from community-based service providers to peer support and consumer survivor groups, to Community Health Centres, harm reduction, and hospital-based services.
What We Do As the collective voice of our members, we provide leadership and engage partners to build a comprehensive and accessible system of addiction and mental health care, and improve the well-being of individuals, families and communities in Ontario. We do this through policy work, advocacy initiatives, service development, knowledge exchange, education offerings, and quality improvement work. Why We Do It In any year, 2.
Yet as many as one third of Ontarians who identify themselves as needing mental health or addiction services report not getting help, or having their needs only partially met.
Those who do reach out for help often face significant wait times for services. AMHO is not a mental health or addiction care provider. The Numbers Tell the Story The need for a better system of addictions and mental health care is clear when you look at the numbers.
