SSO’s Access to Treatment CampaignThe Schizophrenia Society of Ontario has designated access to treatment as our three-year advocacy priority. Because people with schizophrenia require a range of services and supports to help in their recovery, “treatment” has been defined broadly to include three core elements:
Key MessagesThe Problem:Schizophrenia is a treatable brain disease. But people living with it face numerous barriers to accessing the psychiatric treatment, community services, and social supports they need. This has a devastating impact not only on people living with schizophrenia, but on their families and society as a whole. The Solution: It’s time to break down the wall that is preventing people with schizophrenia from getting the treatment and support they need and deserve. Eliminating barriers and providing access to timely and comprehensive care will allow people to manage their disease and lead meaningful, productive lives. The Action: The Ontario government must act now to improve access to psychiatric treatment, community services and social supports for people with schizophrenia. Increased funding and policy changes are required to create a more client-centred, comprehensive continuum of care that meets the range of needs of people in recovery. How to AdvocateSSO encourages people with schizophrenia, their families, and all members of the public to get out there and advocate for better access to treatment! There are several ways that you can do this:
