Feb. 26, 2010

The first report, Improving the Health of Canadians: Mental Health and Homelessness,

provides an overview of the latest research, surveys and policy initiatives related to mental health and homelessness and, for the first time, presents data on hospital use by homeless Canadians.

The second report, Improving the Health of Canadians: Mental Health, Delinquency and Criminal Activity,

examines the relationships between mental health, mental illness, crime and their various determinants. It explores how these issues are related to each other and what, if any, impact they may have on overall public safety. It also sheds light on what interventions and policies may be effective at promoting mental health, preventing crime and reducing the risk of repeat offending, particularly among those with a mental illness.

The third report, Improving the Health of Canadians: Exploring Positive Mental Health

explores the concept of positive mental health by looking at mental health as distinct from mental illness and at positive mental health as a component of overall health and mental health promotion.
