Abstract

Complex student mental health needs are on the rise. The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health (CICMH) is a partnership project that supports Ontario's post-secondary campuses in addressing these needs. CICMH's Campus Community Partnership Project fills service gaps and improves student access to mental health services through pre-existing resources. By creating a collaborative model of care for students, this project supports the creation and expansion of programs between campuses and local community mental health organizations. To date, CICMH has supported more than 50 projects across 42 campuses, reaching 93% of Ontario's post-secondary institutions and supporting over 40,000 students.
