Official Partnership with Toronto based Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)

CAMH Vice President of Community Development, Dean Hughes, and Susan, Vice President of Communications agreed on an official partnership with SAY Campaign. This occured at a meeting with prominent members of the South Asian community from social workers, physicians, psychiatrists and advocates.

SAY Campaign co-founder Lina Dhingra advised CAMH in regards to improving community outreach, reducing stigma in varying communities in relation to campaign building, tapping undiscovered markets (such as SAY Campaign)  and create partnerships, and starting a trade forum  on mental illness to bridge the gap between the patient to caretaker to physician to agency and institution.

 

CAMH is excited for this partnership and have expressed a direct desire to help initiate this type of outreach in South Asian temples, mosques and funding. They additionally will make suggested changes to their marketing materials to reach-out to South Asians and generally make it more diverse.
