Central East (Penetanguishene) Mental Health Implementation Task Force Final Report

Maintaining a Strong Commitment

The Mental Health Implementation Task Force (MHITF) for Central East (Penetanguishene) Region's recommendations build on a strong commitment to achieving much-needed reforms in Ontario's mental health sector. They start by placing the needs of people with mental illness at the centre of all activities, and by seeking to provide a continuum of care — easily accessed and respectfully delivered — within the community.

Our plan is a blueprint for establishing an efficient and effective system that will ensure that most in need of mental health services will get them when they need them, as close to home as possible, and in a manner consistent with best practice. People, no matter where they live in the region, will have equal access to services.

Key features proposed for a reformed regional mental health system include :

Mental Health Governing Agency
Resource Centre — a regional mental health system reception, information & referral, and navigation service.
Integration of Services — clinical and administrative integration of major service sectors, resulting in five direct service entities: comprehensive community mental health service, consumer & family service, schedule 1 service, tertiary service, First Nations/Aboriginal service.
