Conservative estimates suggest that 29% of people with mental health problems have concurrent substance abuse issues/disorders. Other studies claim it’s higher – 40% - 60%. Having two disorders at the same time increases the incidence of problems, such as homelessness, hospitalization, incarceration and suicide.

CMHA/Peel has been given funding to provide concurrent disorders training and consultation to agencies in the Region of Peel/Central West LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) who serve clients with concurrent disorders. The training and consultation is provided by our Concurrent Disorders Resource Network.

Training includes two-day ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshops; a one-day NVCI (Non-Violent Crisis Intervention) training; and five-day Concurrent Disorders training. Network members may also attend 10 three-hour Solution Sessions that include case consultation, networking, information sharing and educational opportunities.

We are looking for new members of the network. Click here to read a flyer.
