    In March 2023, MAiD will become legal for people whose sole medical condition is mental illness. This legislative change will be met with questions, concerns, and new patient requests. Understanding this new legal landscape, and its clinical, organizational, ethical, and policy implications, will be essential for healthcare providers and administrators, particularly those in the mental health sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Local community outreach is a critical component in managing mental illness and addictions effectively. Too often those that need help are not getting the right help and the right time.<\/p>\n

      In 2020 the London Police Services received 3084 mental health and addiction calls for service. Although London has well established partnerships between crisis services and first responders including drop-offs at the Crisis Centre and protocols with the Crisis Response Team, gaps in the continuum of crisis response service remained.<\/p>\n

      Recognizing the unmet need to improve support of individuals in crisis, in addition to better equipping officers who are tasked with responding under the Mental Health Act, the London Police Service (LPS), the Middlesex-London Paramedic Service (MLPS), St. Joseph\u2019s Health Care London (St. Joseph\u2019s) and the Canadian Mental Health Association Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services, (CMHA TVAMHS) partnered to create the Community Outreach and Support Team (COAST) in April of 2021.<\/p>\n

      This interactive presentation will include representatives from the partnership who will share their experiences.<\/p>\n

        An ongoing PCORI-funded, patient-centered SUMMIT Trial is currently being implemented in Toronto, Chapel Hill and Chicago aims to improve access to brief, patient-centered psychotherapy (talk therapy) for pregnant and postpartum women experiencing depression and anxiety. Upon completion, it will be among the largest psychotherapy trials in the world and has important lessons for our Canadian context to scale up effective treatments while addressing the healthcare worker crisis.<\/p>\n

        This is an important initiative because although psychotherapy is a preferred treatment among women, only about one in five can access it.<\/p>\n

          There is a growing movement toward decriminalizing personal drug use. Vancouver and Toronto have both floated the concept, with Vancouver police being told to stop drug arrests and provide more help to those in need. Other countries have taken this route, most notably Portugal, where deaths, crime, and incarceration declined.<\/p>\n

          Key Takeaways and Discussion Topics:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • The case for decriminalization and why it\u2019s seeing success<\/li>\n
          • What a robust policy and system would look like to bring about substantive change<\/li>\n
          • Various models and how they can be applied to Canada<\/li>\n
          • Cannabis legalization, and what we can learn from its impact so far<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
