Building Equitable Partnerships Symposium 2008  -- Reducing Health
Disparities Through Collaborative Action between Diverse Communities,
Mental Health & Addictions Service Providers and Policy Makers

Symposium Themes:

.  How do we initiate, build and sustain equitable partnerships?
.  Why do we need equitable partnerships?
..  What elements and strategies are required to address the
challenges of building equitable partnerships?

In the mental health and addictions services system, creating an
accessible, client and family-centred system depends on commitment
and action to build equitable partnerships between and among diverse
and marginalized communities and groups, grassroots organizations,
mainstream agencies and funders. The BEP symposium will provide a
forum for dialogue among groups that have a stake in the delivery of
culturally competent mental health and addictions and related health
care, resulting in not only greater understanding of but action on
building equitable partnerships for health. This will be a dynamic
symposium, with a key objective of collectively crafting
recommendations around best practice and governance issues related to
equitable partnerships.

Sponsored by the Building Equitable Partnerships Project Partners:
Canadian Mental Health Association - Toronto Branch
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Committee for Accessible AIDS Treatment
Community Participants and Mental Health Advocates
Multicultural Interagency Group of Peel
