In Canada’s universal health system, mental health care is not so universal: report – CBCAccess to services like supportive housing or psychotherapy unevenNov 19, 2024About 2.5 million people — nearly the populations of Manitoba and Saskatchewan combined — aren’t getting adequate care for their mental health, according to a new report. The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), which released the report on Tuesday, called it a map of the landscape of mental health, addictions and substance use in the country. “For many Canadians, mental health is in fact grim.”The report looked at 24 measures, from how much is being spent on care, to suicide rates and levels of discrimination against people with mental health concerns, with breakdowns by province and territory, where available.

That’s a fraction compared to a country like France, which also has a universal system and spends 15 per cent on mental health care.
