The Patient and Family Partners Program is a network of patients and families who are interested in partnering with CAMH on our organizational, clinical, research and education initiatives.
The program matches patients and families with opportunities across CAMH. Our goal is to collaborate with healthcare partners, patients, and families to promote quality improvement, patient safety, and the patient and family experience across all areas of the organization.

All Patient and Family Partners that join the program will be a part of our Patient and Family Partners Program. As part of the program, you can choose to receive information about relevant engagement opportunities, will be eligible to participate in training and workshops, and can subscribe to our newsletter(s) to keep updated on news and events related to patient and family engagement at CAMH.
CAMH has an honoraria policy that explains how patients and families should receive payment for engaging with CAMH. We will go through this with you when you are introduced to the program.
Your involvement in the Patient and Family Partners Program is completely voluntary. If you decide that you are no longer interested, please contact pfpprogram@camh.ca and we will archive your information so that it is no longer visible. CAMH is obliged to retain information records for 365 days and will destroy your archived information once the wait period is over.
Your information is kept on the CAMH secure server and is only accessible to staff members in the program and to staff who would like to connect with you about an opportunity. All CAMH staff and physicians sign confidentiality agreements and are bound by legislation to retain your information as confidential.
CAMH aims to keep you updated on how your contributions shape our work. Some outcomes may happen long after your involvement is complete but receiving feedback should be a part of the process. Some results may be showcased as updates on this page or in our e-newsletter. Please sign up if you would like to receive ongoing information about the program.
You are free to ask the project staff how you will be kept up-to-date about the project you are involved in.
For some opportunities you are more than welcome to engage as a partner, even if you have not been treated at CAMH. You will receive more information after you complete the application form.
