Recovery through the Lens of Cultural Diversity is a year-long project funded by the Wellesley Institute. The overall aim of this project, a collaboration between Community Resource Connections of Toronto (CRCT) and the Health Systems Research and Consulting Unit at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), has been to examine recovery through a cultural diversity lens in order to develop a second generation model of recovery that, when implemented, will improve the ability of community mental health organizations to design and deliver recovery-oriented services that are relevant and responsive to culturally diverse Toronto. The project has had three main objectives:
· To nurture a recovery and cultural diversity "community of practice" in the city of Toronto.
· To use a community-based participatory research approach, including focus groups with service users and family members from three cultural-linguistic communities, to critique and adapt an existing model of recovery.
· To begin to plan for how the adapted model might be applied to the design and delivery of community mental health programs and services in Toronto.
Now, members of the Toronto Recovery and Cultural Diversity Community of Practice invite you to the project's culminating community forum, to be held Wednesday, December 9th from 9:00-11:30 am in the Debates Room at Hart House, on the campus of the University of Toronto. At the forum, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and its findings and to contribute to an ongoing conversation about recovery and diversity in community mental health.
We hope you will be able to attend.
