July 10 2013 report, Connecting the Dots: How Ontario Public Health Units are Addressing Child and Youth Mental Health. Final report of the research study conducted by CAMH Health Promotion Resource Centre, Public Health Ontario and Toronto Public Health.
Mental health is a key component of overall health and well being. However, the role of public health in mental health in Ontario has not been well-described. For instance, the Ontario Public Health Standards lack an explicit mandate to address mental health despite the obvious links with our core business of preventing illness and promoting health.
The purpose of this research study was to understand how Ontario’s 36 public health units address and promote mental health in children and youth.

The tool kit brings a rural lens to issues that are often viewed from an urban perspective. Numerous examples and innovative practices from across the province are profiled. This tool kit recognizes many characteristics associated with rural communities including a low density population, a declining population in some areas, aging citizens, youth out-migration, rural land uses and an economy that is significantly different from that of urban Ontario.
