Summary
"The intent of this strategic plan is to provide high-level direction to planning in the area of
mental health and well-being in Manitoba over the next five years.
The strategic plan is the result of consultation and discussion with a cross-section of groups,
including individuals with lived experience of mental health problems and illnesses, families and
natural supports, mental health clinicians, policy makers, other government departments and
community partners. The intent during development of the plan was to make it reflective of
the shared knowledge, experience and hopes of Manitobans."--Page 1.
