Thrive Toronto has introduced Toronto’s first mental wellness plan, focusing on systemic factors like poverty, housing, and inequities. The plan, developed over 18 months, emphasizes a shift from mental illness to wellness. Key actions include a community mental health report card, a climate change and mental health strategy, stress reduction through housing access, expanded workplace mental health benefits, and a learning center for mental wellness.
