Abstract
The availability of publicly funded psychological therapy for people with mental health challenges is limited in Canada and elsewhere despite evidence supporting its clinical and social benefits. We report on a pilot program of such therapy, presenting its salient features, lessons learned, and future prospects.
Résumé
Pour les personnes ayant un problème de santé mentale, la possibilité de suivre une psychothérapie financée par des fonds publics est limitée au Canada et ailleurs, malgré que plusieurs études aient démontré les succès cliniques et les avantages sociaux de ces traitements. Les auteurs de cet article décrivent un projet pilote d’accès à ces thérapies, et présentent ses caractéristiques les plus importantes, les leçons que l’on peut en tirer et des pistes de travail pour l’avenir.
