85% less likely to seek treatment for mental illness than those who identify as white.
To address the problem, CAMH is developing a culturally adapted form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy catered toward the community.
Dr. Farooq Naeem, chief of general and health systems psy- chiatry at CAMH, is leading the project, which he calls a type of
“talking therapy”.
Funded by Health Canada and supported by a number of
institutions including PCHS and the Mental Health Commission of Canada, Naeem’s team is gathering information to launch the program later this year.
He said the response to the announcement of the project in December was overwhelming with hundreds of people offering to participate.
“I think that means people are becoming more aware in the community, they are becoming more familiar, and they are real- izing the need to get help for mental health problems,” Naeem told Road Today.
