The goal of these system evaluations or "progress reports" is to collect information from a wide range of people including users of mental health services, their family members, service providers and external groups about the adult mental health system throughout the region and then to use the information collected to begin to make system improvements.
The three Progress Reports CMHA BC has led include:
