Making Your Events More Accessible and Inclusive: A Toolkit for the Mental Health and Addictions Sector

This toolkit includes three Good Practice Guides with practical tips for planning accessible and inclusive events—both in-person and virtual—for the diverse communities that receive and provide mental health and substance use services. While much of the guidance can be applied more broadly, the toolkit is specifically designed to support the planning of events such as presenter series, knowledge-sharing sessions, system planning meetings, and partner engagement activities. Clinical events, such as group psychotherapy, are not covered, as they involve different planning needs.

These guides were developed by the Provincial System Support Program at CAMH. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Jacob Wolframe, Consultant, Equity Practice, at Jacob.wolframe@camh.ca.
