One of the biggest challenges for people seeking mental health, substance use, and addictions services is knowing where to go.  That’s why health care partners, community service providers, and people with lived/living experience have worked together to create AccessMHA, a simple new single point of entry to eastern Ontario’s system of care for mental health and addictions.
