Every Ontarian must have equitable access to mental health and addictions services and supports across the province. To ensure that every door is indeed the right door to the mental health and addictions system, health care providers must have access to mental health and addictions resources in all health care settings, including primary care, home and community care. Mental health and addictions issues, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use, are among the most common and disabling health conditions worldwide.
