RECOVERY

Homeless father and son
RECOVERY from mental illness is possible ... with safe and affordable housing and appropriate supports.

Affordable housing for the mentally ill

Since there is a shortage of affordable housing for the people with mental illness,the Government should expand the number of safe,affordable independent housing units in order make recovery possible.

Polls

The Federal Government should increase the funding for provincial governments and non-profit groups to provide housing for the mentally ill.

Recovery from mental illness …

  • is not the same thing as being cured …
  • for many it is a way of living a satisfying,hopeful,and productive life even with limitations caused by the illness …
  • for others,recovery means the reduction or remission of mental illness symptoms.

Just Imagine

“Imagine a world where saying “I have schizophrenia” can be said as openly as “I have diabetes”

Imagine a world where parents could freely share with a neighbour that their son was in the psychiatric ward as they could if their son was in the hospital cancer ward.

Imagine a world where employers and colleagues supported workers who have had a breakdown as they would someone who had been in a car accident.

Imagine a world where landlords and other tenants would welcome a neighbour who had a psychiatric disability as they would someone in a wheelchair or with a guide dog.

Imagine a world that made mental health research,treatment and community supports a priority for society.

Imagine a world where people have the hope to ask for treatment and support to recover from mental illness.” www.coastmentalhealth.com.
