Are you hitting a breaking point? 68% of caregivers in Ontario report feeling the same way.

46% of caregivers report feeling lonely, isolated, and depressed.

The people behind these numbers—they're why we do what we do.

We consistently hear our work is making a difference, and the demand for our programs and services is growing.

The newly released data in our 2025 Spotlight Report paints a clear picture of the challenges caregivers are facing in Ontario and shows us how important it is that we continue to provide the support caregivers need and work with partners in healthcare to expand caregiver inclusion.

Our Story

The next breakthrough in mental health will come from CAMH.

CAMH is one of the largest hospitals in North America for people with mental illness. We are an acknowledged world leader in brain science. Each year, we provide exceptional care for more than 34,000 patients and respond to 500,000 outpatient visits. We inspire change in the mental health field through the professionals we train, the knowledge we share, and in the modern facilities we are building: embedded in the community and open to the world.

We are inspired by the courage of our patients, the dedication of our staff and by the example of our volunteers and donors, who have thrust mental health onto society's agenda.

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is more than a hospital. It's a catalyst for change.
