Partnership at the Forefront of Change: Documenting the Transformation of Child and Youth Mental Health Services in Quebec

摘要

Objective:The Quebec Plan d’action en santé mentale (PASM) (Mental Health Action Plan) reform, a major transformation of the province’s mental health care system, has put primary care rather than hospital-based care at the forefront of mental health service delivery. This study documents perceptions of changes in child and youth mental health (CYMH) services following the reform, as well as facilitators and obstacles to collaboration and partnership in CYMH services, and the specific challenges related to collaboration and partnership when servicing multi-ethnic populations.
