About PSSP
Transforming mental health and addictions systems to improve the lives of Ontarians
The Provincial System Support Program
Ontarians access mental health and addictions help from many different services and sectors. That means a coordinated approach to support people affected by these issues is vital to ensure the best possible outcomes.
The Provincial System Support Program (PSSP) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health works with communities, service providers and other partners across Ontario to move evidence to action to create sustainable, system-level change. With offices in Toronto and across the province, PSSP is on the ground, collaborating with stakeholders to build a better system through our work in implementation, knowledge exchange, evaluation and data management, and health equity and engagement.
CAMH is Canada's largest mental health teaching hospital and one of the world's leading research centres in its field. CAMH is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto and is a Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Centre.

The system improvement work reflected on this site is funded by the Government of Ontario. The Staged Screening and Assessment and Ontario Perception of Care projects were originally funded through Health Canada’s Drug Treatment Funding Program.
