COLLABORATIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE

CONFERENCE 2015

June 18 - 20, 2015

Sheraton Cavalier, Calgary, Alberta

16th Canadian Collaborative Mental Health Care Conference: Jump on the Bandwagon! 

The  bandwagon effect  is a phenomenon whereby the rate of uptake of beliefs, ideas, practices or trends increases the more that they have already been adopted by others. In other words, the bandwagon effect is characterized by the probability of individual adoption increasing in proportion to the number of others who have already done so. As more people come to believe in something, others also "hop on the bandwagon."  

About the Conference

The Canadian Collaborative Mental Health Care Conference is the leading national conference focused on research and innovations in collaborative mental health care and addictions service delivery within primary care. The program will feature presentations in five topic streams: innovation, prevention, measurement-based care, mental health initiatives in the Patient’s Medical Home (PMH) and systems integration.

A collaborative approach between mental health providers and primary care ultimately improves access and outcomes for patients and helps address efficient use of resources. The conference has the potential to impact the delivery of primary and community-based care, the design of services and the composition of health care teams, research into mental health and addictions, advocacy efforts, public policy and the overall approach to mental health and addictions within the health care system.
