摘要

Canada released its Mental Health Strategy in 2012. Changing Directions Changing Lives sought to change the way mental illness was viewed in Canada and to provide a blueprint that would improve the mental health and well-being of “all people” in Canada. A Quality Mental Health Care Framework was released in 2025. Though it incorporates eight critical dimensions, there is little evidence that it will meet the specific needs of Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or DeafBlind Canadians. This chapter proposes a Deaf* (The word “Deaf” in this strategy includes Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deafblind Canadians.) Mental Health Strategy that highlights key dimensions necessary to meet the mental health needs of this minority population in Canada.
