Information sessions focusing on resources available to deal with the challenges faced by clients and healthcare professionals

The aim of the sessions is to improve access to care and coordination of services in mental health and addictions, as well as to enhance users' experience, health and quality of life. Through the sessions, stakeholders will learn more about available resources and practical tools to facilitate client referrals to appropriate services.
