Released in June 2019, the Mental Wellness and Addictions Recovery Action Plan outlines the immediate steps to be taken to ensure that individuals and families in the NWT are offered services and support that foster hope, promote self-determination, and build partnerships that support mental wellness and addictions recovery, while respecting the uniqueness of each person’s journey.
To achieve this goal, the Action Plan identifies four objectives:
- Reduce Stigma and Increase Awareness and Prevention
- Increase Supports and Transform the Culture of Practice within the Mental Wellness and Addictions Recovery System to more fully reflect a Seamless Care Pathway Model in the NWT
- Improve Quality, Coordination, and Integration of Services
- Strengthen Peer Support, Aftercare, and Community-Based Options for People Living with Addictions
The Action Plan allows for quality improvement by adapting programming to better meet the mental wellness and addictions recovery needs of individuals, families and communities.
