For #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re sharing four new videos created for YouTube offering youth accessible, evidence-based information on sleep, cannabis use and coping strategies.
Bilateral health agreements providing $1.2B annually to improve access to mental health, addictions and home and community care expire in 2027. CAMH urges the federal government to extend this funding in Budget 2026.
CAMH welcomes the federal government’s plan to table legislation this fall to maintain the exclusion of mental illness as the sole underlying condition for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) on an indeterminate basis.
Today, CAMH recognizes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Together, we remember the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, their families and communities that continue to live with the devastation of the residential school system.
In this video, we asked Dr. Jonathan Thacker, Research Scientist at CAMH, to answer some questions about different ways to stay active, balancing school while having an active lifestyle, and how physical activity can improve focus. 💬 How do you stay active during the school year?
Supporting men’s mental health requires more than asking men to talk. We also need to ask what needs to change around them. At CAMH, leading voices in mental health and suicide prevention came together to explore what we know, what we’re learning – and what we need to do differently.
New findings from the SUMMIT Trial, led by CAMH’s Dr. Daisy Singla, show that improvements in perinatal depression and anxiety were sustained for 12 months, regardless of provider type or delivery method.
A new New York Times feature highlights Dr. Neil Vasdev and his CAMH colleagues who are developing specialized brain-imaging tools to detect signs associated with CTE during life. We're proud to see their work recognized in The New York Times.
The evidence is growing. The need is clear. Now is the time to turn research into action.
Join 33+ international speakers at CAMH #womenmind™ Nov 4–5 to shape what’s next in women’s mental health.

The 2025 OSDUHS report is making headlines across Ontario. CAMH experts spoke with CBC, Global News, and CP24 about what the latest data tells us about the mental health and well-being of Ontario students.
New CAMH research used a driving simulation to examine how cannabis edibles affect driving performance. Researchers found impairment can occur even when blood THC levels are below legal thresholds.
Opioids are involved in the vast majority of accidental drug toxicity deaths in Canada, but they can be prevented! Naloxone kits are widely available for free at pharmacies and can help save the life of someone who needs critical help.
We spoke with Sinead, a Toronto area nurse who was treated with rTMS for her treatment-resistant depression. Thanks to this innovative mental health intervention, she is able to fully experience life without the cloud of depression hanging overhead.
OSDUHS data provide a closer look at online gambling and sports betting among students in grades 7-12, and what these trends may tell us about youth gambling. Swipe through for a closer look at the data.
Congratulations to Dr. Neil Vasdev! 2026 Fellow of the Academy from the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS).
