It's Time for Change.
Converge is an energetic, cross-sector coalition that brings together diverse minds to help strengthen Canada's mental healthcare system.
It's time to rethink how we approach mental health in Canada - not just with ideas from within the healthcare space, but through collaboration and bold action with partners from various sectors. By combining different perspectives and skills, we can work together to create a better, more effective system for everyone.

Mental Health & Wellness ecosystems nurture healthy Canadian communities by ensuring the right supports at the right time.
The current approach to Mental Health & Wellness service delivery in Canada is designed as a bi-directional highway leading to the two most expensive solutions: hospitals and the justice system.
A re-imagined Mental Health Highway includes different types of services offered at various price points. Services are grouped together to foster continuity and prevent individuals from being re-directed down the highway numerous times to re-tell their story.
We believe that a re-imagined Mental Health & Wellness ecosystem is one where there are no wait lists and clients are not re-traumatized, as information and resources are shared between agencies and systems. Multiple access points and levels of care work to prevent individuals from ending up in society’s most costly interventions.
