Mental Health Advisory Council

What is the Mental Health Advisory Council?

The Mental Health Advisory Council is an advisory group appointed by the WRHA Regional Adult Mental Health Team. The council will provide a consumer / family / community viewpoint on the services provided by the WRHA Adult Mental Health Program.

Role of the Community Health Advisory Councils

The council provides an on-going opportunity for community members to have input into regional mental health service planning, implementation, and evaluation.

The council will include a minimum of 8 members and will not exceed 16 members. A minimum of 60% of the council will be consumers.  A WRHA staff member will participate in an "ex officio" basis, serving as co-chair.  Support for the council will be provided by the Mental Health Program.

We Need Community People

We are looking for individuals who have a personal passion for and commitment to ongoing improvements to the mental health system and the quality of life of those living with mental illness.

What kind of time commitment is required?

Council members volunteer for terms up to 3 years in length.  They may serve up to two successive terms.  At minimum, each council will meet 4 times per year, with a maximum of 8 meetings, based on agenda items.
